That is horrible. Yes, I would take pictures and call animal control. The reason for it...it will give a record of it. The more evidence that you can collect the better the chances are that they will take action if needed. And it seems that it is needed in this case.
I once called on a neighbor who kept her afghan out on the balcony with a bowl of food and water and it's own mess. She kept it on there all day long. We finally wound up giving it water because it had spilled it bowl. The balcony was covered in it's own poo (lots of it) Animal control took the dog, but then she got it back. Then she shaved him to the skin! and left him on the balcony again. I called a 2nd time and they took the dog.
So the more documentation, the better the case to take that baby away. The sad part of it all is that that poor baby will have to suffer before it can be helped. maybe if animal control steps in it will wake them up however. We can only pray that, that happens for the sake of the puppy. good luck and please don't beat yourself up, you didn't know and certainly would never expect someone to mistreat a puppy like that.
