Dog Dragged Behind Pickup Truck is Doing Well

Thursday, February 10, 2005

A Boston Terrier is doing well after recovering from injuries sustained after being dragged along the road behind a pickup truck.
Glenda Allen said she and her husband, Daryl, and son were driving near South Main Street early Sunday afternoon when her husband started yelling, "I can't believe this. Do you see what's happening?"

Daryl Allen had spotted a Dodge pickup dragging a little black-and-white dog.

The Allens, owners of two miniature Doberman Pinschers, are "dog lovers," Glenda Allen said.

Daryl Allen immediately turned around and laid down on his horn, trying to get the driver's attention, Glenda Allen said.

And "I'm screaming at them to stop," she said. The sight of the bloody little dog, body bouncing on the road, "pierced my heart," she said.

Glenda Allen continued screaming at the men.

At one point, the truck stopped, and the passenger got out and rounded the truck. "He seemed angry, I guess because we were screaming at him," she said.

The dog had fallen over on its side. The Allens thought he'd given up.

The passenger reached down, grabbed the dog and threw him back into the bed of the truck, Glenda Allen said.

Then the men continued on.
The police have the driver of the pickup truck in custody. The other passenger that was riding in the truck is still at large.

  • I am very concerned about the who was mistreated by that supposed citizen.People like that give animal owners a bad name by that kind of abuse.What can we do as a caring citizen to prevent that kind of thing from happening .We were wondering if the dog will be able to be adopted by a loving home?We hope the dog gets better, and that dog is lucky those people were around to say something.
