Yes they did.
Here is another photo taken a bit later in the day when the sand has dried and after it was turned onto it's other side.
Anyone can see it is a dog and it has no "beak".
It was "taken" alright and examined that's how the report findings made the program about it.
The people who say "it was never seen again" mostly run websites trying to keep the myth going in hopes of saleing adverts or cheap crap to make a buck.
