If you are asking yourself in disbelief, "who would dump seven dead puppies on the side of the road," law enforcement officials in Cumberland County are, too.

Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae says on Wednesday morning at about 9:45, a motorist notified the Cumberland County Sherriff’s Department of dead puppies on an entrance ramp to southbound Route 55 off of Sherman Avenue in Vineland.

Cops located seven dead multi-colored puppies along the ramp. The City of Vineland Animal Control Department says they were three to four weeks old.

Investigators believe that the person(s) responsible would have traveled east towards Vineland on Sherman Avenue and entered the Route 55 southbound entrance where the puppies were located.
