The Department of Animal Services is on the hunt for a duo who dropped off an emaciated dog at an animal shelter in California Sunday.
A man and a woman were recorded on surveillance camera taking the pooch to the place in Jurupa Valley while it was closed overnight.
In the footage a female is seen holding the 8-month-old German shepherd (or mix of the breed) wrapped inside a blanket as the male opens the door to an after-hours locker.
