They Got Her!
Fairfax, va. (AP) - A Loudoun County woman is under arrest on animal cruelty charges, after authorities say she dragged her dog some 500 feet.
Jeong Oh, of Sterling, was arrested Wednesday morning at the Fairfax County animal shelter, where she'd gone to meet with detectives. Just a day earlier, her husband showed up at the shelter trying to claim the dog, which he thought had run away.
Investigators say that on Saturday morning, a passer-by on a Great Falls street saw Oh dragging the Jack Russell terrier, whose leash was attached to a car. After about 500 feet, authorities say the car stopped, the woman got out, unhooked the dog and left it on the side of the road before driving off.
The terrier - named "Charger" - suffered severe injuries to his paws and hind legs, but is recovering at the animal shelter.
