The gruesome discovery of an apparently slain dog on a California beach this week has stoked a social media outcry and demands that the killer be brought to justice.
"It appeared that someone used the shovel to force the dog under water and drown it," said FoxNews.com reporter Malia Zimmerman, a member of the 6-person canoe team.

The license was traced to a Santa Barbara residence about two hours from the scene.
