Summary:
A golden retriever suffered serious injuries after being caught in a leg trap tucked away in a bush on a popular hiking trail, Little Red Rock, near Las Vegas. The pup broke teeth trying to get the trap off but was able to break free. The trap is believed to be illegally placed since it had no tags showing the owner, was not 30 feet away from the bait, and also placed along a frequented trail when Nevada DWS says to avoid these areas.
