Police are asking for the public’s assistance identifying a dog that was found dead near the Tiverton Yacht Club last week.

The dog’s body was discovered inside a 27-gallon black and red storage bin that was floating in the water off Riverside Drive on Sept. 1.

Police said the dog was wrapped in a red, button-down long-sleeve shirt, along with three bags of ice and a pillow.

The dog is described as being an 8-year-old unspayed female Labrador and pit bull mix. She has black fur with a small white patch on her chest and weighs between 60-80 pounds.
