La Porte County Deputies discovered a severely abused puppy on Christmas in Michigan City.

Officers are trying to find out who is responsible for the puppy who they say has two broken hips along with injuries to his jaw after someone taped his snout shut.

The puppy is being taken care of by Guardians of the Green Mile for injuries.

The group has named his Chance Christmas.

He has already undergone one surgery but will require more.

If you have any information about who may be responsible for hurting the dog contact the La Porte County Sheriff's Office. They say all information sent is confidential.
