ST. LOUIS — Two dogs were injured after being thrown 30 feet from an overpass into a parking lot, leading the state Humane Society to offer a reward Thursday.
The organization got a call Wednesday from a witness who saw a pit bull terrier and a large golden retriever or Akita mix being tossed from the overpass in northern St. Louis.
The group is offering $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
The pit bull is being treated for broken front legs. The other dog ran away but may have been seriously injured, the Humane Society said.
