'Total Shock': Amazon Driver Seen on Video Grabbing, Throwing Idaho Family's Dog
A Rathdrum family faces a nearly $10,000 vet bill after a video showed an Amazon driver injuring their dog.
- An Amazon driver in Rathdrum, Idaho, was caught on video grabbing a family's dog, Rocky, by the neck and slamming him to the ground, leaving the animal with a broken ankle and the family facing a nearly $10,000 veterinary bill.
- The altercation lasted about 20 seconds, according to owner Joe Hickey, whose wife heard the commotion and found Rocky on the ground; the driver then replied, "He sure did when I got there."
- Rocky suffered a broken ankle, scrapes, and a possible dislocated joint; Hickey noted the dog requires pain medication every 24 hours and is scheduled for surgery next week.
- The Rathdrum Police Department confirmed a police report was filed following the incident, and Amazon stated, "We're deeply troubled by this incident and have reached out directly to the customer to apologize."
- Hickey noticed a 180-degree shift in Rocky's behavior since the attack and emphasized he does not want to bash Amazon, but simply wants to prevent this from happening to anyone else.
