A horror story in the middle of America:  A dog goes out to roam and brings back the lifeless body of a newborn baby to its owner in Oklahoma City.

The dog’s owner says there was no trauma on the tiny body and she doesn’t think the dog harmed the baby.  Rather, she says “Luke” found the baby somewhere and carried it back to the home, “just like a momma pup and put it at my feet.”  She says she believes Luke was just trying to help the baby girl.

Police searched the area and couldn’t find where the baby might have been.  But they also don’t have any missing baby reports.

Oklahoma City Police Captain Dexter Nelson says if it was a case of mother abandoning a newborn child, abandoning the girl to die was unnecessary.  Oklahoma has a “Sanctuary Law” that allows a mother to leave a newborn baby to a hospital or fire station, no questions asked.
