Note: The breed of this dog is one of the unmentionables, but I think that has nothing to do with this sad story:
CHOCTAW COUNTY, OK -- Two Choctaw County teenagers are expected to face felony animal abuse charges after a horrifying video surfaced on social media sites.
The video, shot Wednesday just outside of the Boswell city limits, appears to show a teen throwing a dog over one of the twin bridges.
"It makes you wonder where their heart is, or if they have one," Choctaw County Sheriff Terry Park says.
Sheriff Park says even after more than 15 years with the sheriff's office, he's never seen anything quite like this, and he is not the only one who is appalled at what they have seen. Resident Apryl Mock says it is hard to imagine anyone could be so cruel.
"I was shocked and disgusted, and very angry. I just couldn't believe that it had happened," Mock said.
The 16-year-old boy, who Park says filmed the video, was arrested on animal cruelty charges Friday afternoon. Park says the teen who actually threw the dog over the bridge, was 17 at the time, so after turning himself in and being booked into jail Friday he was released back to his parents. Both teens are expected to be formally charged with animal cruelty on Monday.
"I sat there that afternoon and I think I looked at that video 30 times. It's just disgusting that they have no compassion or heart."
The video has gone viral, shared by hundreds of people on various social media sites. After watching the dog fall about 30 feet and hit the ground, it is hard to believe the 2-year-old dog survived, but she did.
A good Samaritan found her the next day after the dog had spent all night in the creek bed where she landed. Veterinarian Dr. Dana Harvey is caring for the dog who has some serious injuries.
"She was very sore from being thrown, a big laceration on the right side of her chest. Her front left leg is non weight bearing which we took x-rays and radiographs this morning, and it's a dislocated wrist."
Dr. Harvey and her staff named the dog "Miracle" and say once she is healed they look forward to finding her a forever home.
