Police say the Boston Terrier, similar to this one, was found dead in a cage alongside the road.
Roanoke Police are looking for the person who left a puppy to die in a cage on the side of a road today.

The body of a Boston Terrier puppy with brindle markings was in the cage, laying on a small pillow.
Police say the dog died from the heat. They also say the puppy was malnourished.
Officers say the dog was approximately 10 weeks old. It was wearing a blue collar with no tags.
