Shelter caring for puppy after it was thrown from bridge into Rock River

According to a Facebook post by the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, a man was fishing in the Rock River when he saw someone walk the dog up the Memorial Bridge, unhook its leash, and throw it into the river.

The dog was able to swim to shore where he was later taken to the shelter to be cared for.

The shelter is now trying to figure out what happened, wondering whether the pup could have been stolen and trying to find a lead so police can find who was responsible.
