Alaska State Troopers are investigating a case of animal cruelty in the northwest village of Kiana.
Troopers on Tuesday said the dog was found frozen and hanging last month from a stop sign.
A village public safety officer found the dog with a rope around its neck tied high on the sign post.
The dog had been hoisted until its feet were off the ground, causing it to be strangled and then frozen.
Troopers are asking for help finding the person who tied up the dog.
Kiana is on the Kobuk River 57 miles northeast of Kotzebue.
