The Humane Society of Huron Valley is seeking tips to find a suspect wanted in connection with an animal cruelty case that left an Ypsilanti dog dead this month.
Tyson, a 12-year-old terrier, was found dead March 22 on the side of Ecorse Road, near Michigan Avenue, the humane society said in a statement this week.
The owners said he was last seen at 7 a.m. March 18 in the backyard at their home about three miles away, near Chevrolet Street and Zephyr Avenue.
When they returned from a hospital around 3 p.m.,Tyson was gone and his collar was unbuckled but still attached to a tie-out in the yard, the humane society said.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI It didn’t take long for Melinda Szabelski and her team of Humane Society of Huron Valley investigators to find dozens of animals being kept in unsanitary conditions at Pet City Pet store a year ago.
Animals inside the Ypsilanti Township store were showing signs of illness, Szabelksi said. Discharge from the eyes and mouth were easily visible, while the cages and aquariums some of the animals were kept in were filthy, and the animals were left without food or water, she said.
