Carl Galioto, chief with the N.J. SPCA is offering $1,000 of his own money for information leading to conviction of this crime, additional funds are coming in from New Jersey Aid for Animals, the Animal Law Coalition and Pawtographs of Cherry Hill for a total of $1550 in reward monies.
The puppy, with distinctive black-and-white markings, was discovered just before midnight on Thursday by a motorist who heard a thump on the roof of his Jeep Cherokee as he emerged from a tunnel, said officials from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The driver stopped to investigate. He found the dog’s battered and bloody carcass on the connector road to the Expressway near mile marker 0.8 in Atlantic City.
“There’s no way that dog fell off,” Nancy Beall, president of the Atlantic County SPCA, said in an interview yesterday. “There are two fences - one of which arches over the roadway.
“Somebody had to fling her over those fences,” Beall said. “It looks like she was thrown over head first.”
The 6-month-old puppy died on impact of massive head injuries, Beall said.
Angel - named by Beall - was not wearing a collar, marked with an identifying tattoo or implanted with a microchip.
Still, the SPCA is certain someone can help lead them to the person who deliberately threw Angel onto the highway.
“This is not a cheap dog,” Beall said. “A purebred Boston Terrier like Angel sells for about $1,200 from a pet store, $500 from a breeder.”
SPCA agents scoured nearby neighborhoods yesterday looking for information and asking if anyone is missing their dog.
“Nobody is coming forward,” Beall said. “But somebody had to buy this dog.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

To be honest with you. I hope that this subject is found. And done to them the same as what they did to this poor defencless puppy. I it was the owner. That puppy looked up at you for food, water, playtime. And to tope it off that puppy trusted them, and looked up to them as a friend and companion. This is a disgrace. I really hope they find this person and torture them.

Just from my own experience I have a bad feeling it may have been a neighbor who didn’t like the dog. Not the owner I could be wrong but why would owner do that to their own pet it’s awful. Im not saying its not possible to be the owner who did it. But Ive known neighbors to poisen dogs and other things if they don’t like them. anyway just a thought I pray they do find who did it for that the worst cruelty Ive ever read or heard about to an animal.
