South Carolina cops are hunting for the owner of a black dog found Monday limping down the street with its mouth and head covered in duct tape.

The injured pooch was collared by the Darlington County sheriff’s deputies, who were able to remove the tape and take the dog to the county animal shelter “for care and treatment,” authorities said in a statement.

Facebook users who commented on the statement were outraged by the blatant animal abuse.

“If I ever saw someone doing this to an animal, I would be in jail,” one wrote. “Sickos!”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office at (843) 398-4501 or (843) 398-4920.

Darlington, where the dog was discovered, is about 75 miles northeast of Columbia, the state capital.
