Couple ‘kicked tiny puppy into pool then stood and watched as she began to drown’
Dillon Lark, 23, is said to have turned up at the Hilton hotel with the 15 week old dog before tossing her into the water, as girlfriend Kelsey White watched
A couple brought a puppy to a swimming pool then kicked her into the water and watched as she began to drown, police say.
Dillon Lark, 23, is said to have turned up at the Hilton Ocean Enclave in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Sunday with the brindle pit bull.
He then knocked the frightened dog into the water, and stood and watched with girlfriend Kelsey White, 20, as the animal struggled to stay afloat.
The tiny animal was saved by bystanders who saw that she was in distress, and pulled her from the water.
Police were called, and found the puppy in the hotel parking lot with Lark’s brother.
Lark has been charged with public intoxication and animal cruelty.
White has been charged with drinking in public.
The puppy was seized from the pair by police and is now being cared for at the Grand Strand Humane Society.
