INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the public’s help finding a man that dumped an abused puppy.

A news release from IMPD said the male pit bull puppy was wrapped up in a bag and dumped in the 10000 block of East Washington Street on the morning of Dec. 23.
