A community in Fayette County is horrified after three dogs were brutally killed.
The dogs were found with ropes around their necks hanging from a tree in Grindstone. A tire fire set underneath them was still smoldering Thursday evening.
Investigator say they may have found a satanic symbol - a pentagram - near the scene. It's not known if it's related to the hangings.

Humane society officers removed the dogs from the scene.
