What they're saying:
"I checked for microchips. I could barely stand the smell," Larson said.
A German Shepherd's head was sticking out of one of the clear plastic bags. Also, a white dog's legs were protruding from another bag.
Kids living nearby probably passed the gruesome sight going to and from school, she stated.
After an animal cruelty detective went to the scene on Friday morning, the Precinct 4 Commissioners Office removed the bags.
"I don't know what kind of psychopath could dump these animals," Lawson said. "This is disturbing, it's not far from my home."
Precinct 2 Constable David Eason's office investigates all animal cruelty cases not involving livestock that happen in Montgomery County.
Two of his detectives are investigating this case.
