SPRING VALLEY, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, JUL 5 – The dog's severe injuries led to euthanasia and animal cruelty charges are filed after the owner admitted dragging the pet behind a vehicle, officials said.

  • On July 2 in Spring Valley, a man was seen pulling his Doberman by its leash while driving an older black Jeep Cherokee at about 30 miles per hour, resulting in the dog sustaining fatal injuries.
  • The incident followed reports from witnesses and led animal services to release a graphic video seeking public help to identify the driver.
  • The dog's owner contacted San Diego County Animal Services after seeing the coverage and admitted he was the driver seen dragging the dog.
  • Due to the severity of its injuries, veterinarians humanely euthanized the dog before law enforcement arrived, and animal services secured the remains to gather evidence while pursuing legal action through the county prosecutor’s office.
  • San Diego County Animal Services called the case horrific and expressed heartbreak, while criminal animal cruelty charges are being pursued against the driver to seek justice.
