Dog finds piece of meat containing 12 sewing needles on Burnaby Mountain trail

A disturbing discovery on a Burnaby Mountain trail on Saturday.

Jeff Curr was walking his two rescue dogs along the North Road trail at around 4:30pm, when he noticed his husky cross, Murphy, had something in her mouth.

A closer look revealed it was a piece of raw beef, with at least 12 sewing needles stuck in it.

Fortunately, Murphy dropped the meat after a few moments. Curr put it in a doggie waste bag, noticing the meat was also stuffed with corn, peppercorns, and cranberries.

Burnaby RCMP say they were alerted to the situation but aren't saying anything else about an investigation.
