NISQUALLY RESERVATION, Wash. - The search is on for more human remains after a dog dragged a human leg home to her owner on Tuesday.
The gruesome discovery was made on the Nisqually Reservation, and on Sunday, investigators found even more body parts after one day of searching.
93-year-old Bill Flowers found the leg after his dog Liberty dragged it home, and was standing over it.
"I examined it," Flowers said. "I picked it up, and looked at the toes and nothing. None of the leg or foot was damaged - from the knee down it wasn't damaged at all."
Flowers said the leg was gray in color, and was dismembered about 4 inches from the buttocks.
He buried the leg in his backyard, and didn't call police until four days later - at the urging of his daughter.
"When I got home he told me, and I said, 'Dad we have to call the police'," Cheryl Flowers said.
Bill Flowers says he didn't report the incident immediately because he was scared he might be accused of murdering the person.
He said, "I was afraid to call. I'm 93 years-old. I didn't want to have to go to the pen for something I didn't do."
Detectives put a GPS collar on Liberty, hoping she would lead them to the rest of the body. But it was search and rescue dogs who found more remains - a pelvis and rib cage in the woods at the Nisqually Tribe's old fish hatchery.
Thurston County Coroner Gary Warnock said a pathologist will look at the remains to determine if it is a man or woman and what instrument or tools were used to dismember the body.

So I guess ole Liberty gave the police a leg up on that missing person investigation but refused to give them a hand finding the rest of the body.
Bad dog, you are NOT bringing that nasty thing into the house! Go play with it outside, sheesh! Honey, what’s for dinner?

“My neighbor’s dog brought home a human skull”
A great FR thread from 2004.
The only thing my Shepherd pup ever brought me was a dead rat that he killed and left on the mat by the back door. He’s been hanging out with the Maine Coon.
Okay, what movie?
All joking aside...anybody else find the 93 year guys reaction a tad strange?
My dog brings home a human leg....I would not think twice about calling the police....and my dog for sure would stop licking my face....!!!

One of my favorite funny as hell movies.
I vaguely remember that one. Might have to look it up again.
