Suspect Arrested in Denver Dog Dragging Incident
Several weeks ago, animal control launched an investigation, after a video surfaced from March 1, that showed a man driving through Denver, while dragging a dog behind his pickup truck.
According to Denver7 News, the truck was travelling at least 45mph near the area of S. Platte Drive and W. Mississippi Avenue. Witnesses were able to convince the driver to pull over, however once he and the passenger noticed that bystanders were taking photos, they both fled from the scene in the truck.
The dog was left behind, no longer on its leash at this point. A good Samaritan took the canine to a nearby animal hospital, where it was sadly pronounced deceased.
