Dog Human Skull - Police in Gallup, N.M., say a family dog surprised its owner when it returned home with a scary find – a human skull.
Detective John Yearley, whose training is in forensic anthropology, says the skull appears to have been buried for one to three years and belonged to a male between the ages of 35 and 45.
He also says the skull was probably picked up by the dog near his home because a dog that size would not have carried it far without getting tired and abandoning it.
White says a search of the airport area Monday found a few more small bones. Dog finds human skull near NM airport
