Female Tosses Dog from a Bridge

Deputies responded to Phil Foster Park in reference to an animal cruelty complaint.

Upon arrival deputies learned that a female just threw a dog off the Blue Heron Bridge approximately 40-50 feet off the ground below.

Several witnesses stated that the dog was clearly in distress, pain, whining and struggling to move.

Witnesses advised that the female stated several times that she threw the dog off the bridge, “cause dogs can fly.”

Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control responded and transported the dog to their facility for treatment.

The extent of the dogs injuries is unknown at this time.

The female was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Charges for Animal Cruelly will be forthcoming.
