The photos were posted to the wall of a Facebook user listing her hometown as South Daytona.  Authorities have asked people to stop inundating them with calls about the posting.          

The city of South Daytona said an animal cruelty investigation is underway. Officials also said they had information that the dog is ok and the person who posted the photos was out of state for Thanksgiving. Investigators said they would question her when she returns.
