A beagle returned home with an unusual find that has led to a criminal investigation in the town of Gallup, New Mexico: a human skull.
The dog found the remains Saturday evening and carried them home. Its owner, who lives on the west end of Gallups airport, then alerted authorities, John Allen, deputy police chief, told msnbc.com.
Police have determined the skull was from an individual believed to be a man, roughly 35 to 45 years old, who probably died about three years ago, Allen said.
Police decided to search a field around where the beagle lives since they figured the canine couldnt have walked too far with the skull due to the dog's size. Their search turned up other human bones that we believe are related to this skull, Allen said.
It is a criminal investigation at this time and until we determine otherwise, or receive other information, were going to continue along this path, he said. Were attempting to identify who this individual may be we may possibly have a lead and were looking into that right now.
Gallup Police Det. John Yearley said dogs and coyotes unearth human remains a few times a year. In one case last year, dogs found bones that led police to a homicide case.

My long passed great uncle was a dog lover and one of the best dog trainers I have ever known. One of his last dogs was a beagle that collected motorcycle helmets. True story... the crazy dog collected about a dozen of them over the years from the trailer park next door. My uncle never could break that habit from the crazy dog.

Meh, the owner was done with it anyway.
ping...buried bones...beagle dog...dug it up...New Mexico...signs of ancient and obviously advanced civilization...(OK, I exaggerated the last bit.)
And to think that I got creeped out when one of the dogs left a four-foot snakeskin “gift” outside the back gate....
Hmmmmmmmm?
Snoopy bringing home proof that he finally nailed the Red Baron?
“What’s that, girl? Timmy fell down the well 15 years ago?”
At least he didn’t eat poop....

My Ranger once buried a squirrel under my sofa cushions...
How long did it take until you found it?
LOL...fortunately I was witness to the final stages of the act, so not long enough to “ripen”...
