HARTFORD, Vt. (WCAX) – A dog’s owner has been charged with animal cruelty after police say it jumped out of his moving vehicle and was hit by a car.
Police say “Ace” – a five-year-old German Shepard – was seen jumping out of a moving truck on I-89 in Hartford Friday. Witnesses took the dog to Save’s Emergency Care in Lebanon but he later died from his injuries.
The driver of that truck, 33-year-old Adam Howard of North Carolina, says he was unaware the dog had slipped out of his collar and became unsecure.
He was also cited for disorderly conduct and released.
