Yep, a family in Birmingham, Alabama, found their dog bringing home human remains — for the fourth time in less than a year.
As reported by PEOPLE:
Deputies responded on Aug. 9 after a homeowner in the Center Point area reported that their 2-year-old German Shepherd mix, Chicarin, had once again brought home what appeared to be part of a human skeleton, according to WVTM-13, AL.com and WBRC.
The remains were recovered and sent to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office. Investigators also searched a nearby wooded area, where they found additional remains, WVTM-13 reported.
This has been an ongoing problem for the family.
It's the latest twist in a series of grim discoveries involving Chicarin. The investigation began on Aug. 20, 2024, when Mejía's husband spotted the family's two dogs, Chicarin and another named Chicarone, who is no longer with the family, playing with a skull on the roadway next to their home, AL.com reported.
'He just saw her with the other dog playing with a skull,' she told the outlet. 'My husband was like, "This does not look right."'
Yeah, I'd say your dogs playing soccer with a human head "doesn't look right."
Here is a local news report that lays out the timeline of the "finds." 👇

Authorities cross-checked the DNA of the remains with national databases but have not found any matches. The investigation is ongoing.
At some point, you have to consider the possibility that the dog is a serial killer, right? 😭

I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve been wandering around at night in the Deep South hinterlands or Appalachian backwoods armed and all dressed in black and encountered armed people all dressed in black...we just waved at each other and went on our separate ways...
