A man is behind bars after video captured him brutally kicking a beloved 15-year-old yorkie terrier, leaving the dog unable to stand.
The pet, named Bart, remains at an animal hospital undergoing veterinary care due to a traumatic brain injury that has left it unable to stand.
The violent attack was caught on video. Although hard to watch, the man, who the owner suspects of being on drugs, kicks the dog as it walked along the sidewalk in Venice Beach, sending it flying into the air and into the street.Bart's owner has had him since he was two months old, and said she couldn't believe what had happened.
"No one would ever expect that this person would have just done that," said Laura Rosenfeld, Bart's owner. "He did a sidekick to my dog as if it was a soccer ball, and my dog just flew onto the metal plate in the street adjacent to our sidewalk. At the edge of the claw of the tractor, and he was rigid."Doctors are not sure if Bart will be able to walk again, but Rosenfeld is just glad her beloved pet is alive and beginning to make a slow recovery.
