A family dog called Luke discovered the body wrapped in plastic in Oklahoma City on Saturday morning

He carried it home where a house-sitter alerted the authorities

Police launch desperate search for mother, who they believe may have experienced injuries in birth

A dead newborn baby girl was discovered by a dog in Oklahoma City on Saturday and the family pet carried her body home in its mouth.

The dog's unnamed owner was out of town so the pet, Luke, returned the infant's body to the house-sitter at the property just off South Air Deport Road.

The mixed breed was carrying the three to five pound dead baby, which had been wrapped in plastic, in his mouth and placed it by the woman's feet around 8am, KFOR reports.

FULL story and video at link.

As expected, the poor dog was merely taking its "find" to its human family for help. (earlier stories gave quite a different impression)...

Sad, all around...
