Authorities on Long Island are looking for the motorist who was spotted throwing a 5-month-old puppy out of a car over the weekend.
The Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said that a woman in Uniondale saw the dark sedan slow down while heading down Bedford Avenue Saturday evening. Someone inside the car then chucked the female dog out of the window before the vehicle sped away.
The SPCA says that when officers were called to the scene, the puppy was so traumatized that it wouldn't allow anyone approach. An officer was eventually able to gain the dog's trust, and it was taken to a veterinarian's office for treatment.
"The Nassau County SPCA is disgusted with the callous behavior exhibited by this person or persons," the agency said in a statement.
A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading ot an arrest.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call shte SPCA at 516-843-7722.
