BOZEMAN — An investigation is underway after a dog was reportedly tied to a bumper of a vehicle and dragged more than half a mile down Jackrabbit Lane on Tuesday, July 6. The dog is reportedly recovering from its injuries.
According to a release from Gallatin County officials, on July 6th, Gallatin County Sheriff’s deputies investigated a call regarding animal cruelty.
