Kerri Larson with Alaska Hope Rescue is familiar with the area as she goes almost daily to feed stray dogs.
She says she wasn’t prepared for what a social media poster had discovered.

“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.
