While searching Thursday afternoon for a stray dog in an Appling graveyard, a Columbia County Animal Care and Control officer came across an unexpected sight – a man and woman sunbathing in the nude.

“I was a little shocked,” Animal Control officer Russell Swann said. “I was expecting to see a dog out there.”

Animal Control had received a call from a member of Solid Rock Baptist Church on Scotts Ferry Road stating that someone had abandoned a dog on the church’s property.

Mr. Swann said he responded to the call and first searched in the front side of the property. As he rounded a corner to the back side of the church he encountered the naked back sides of the couple stretched out at the edge of the church graveyard.

“When I walked back there, there was two naked people and the dog sitting right beside them,” he said. “As soon as they saw me, they started throwing clothes on.”

Mr. Swann said he called his dispatcher, who in turn called police.

“I was a little freaked out,” he said. “I pulled my vehicle behind there’s so they couldn’t get out and waited for a sheriff’s deputy.”

Unbelievable without pictures so we can judge guilt or non-guilt.

Pictures, I say!

Notice from the PC police. You can no longer refer to them as chiggers, the PC term is chigroes. Thanks.

Oh, sorry. I missed the memo. I don’t go outdoors much, so it hasn’t been a topic of personal interest lately ;-).

That's funny. I mentioned to a young lady that i think I got some from mowing the back field, and she just looked at me like I had said a bad word. (city gal, no doubt!)
