A dog that was seen tossed over a gate and then abandoned in extreme heat in Ramona has a new, loving home.
Dolly, a black pit bull puppy, was rescued by San Diego County Animal Services after being abandoned outside an office building in Ramona on Aug. 28.
Animal Services officials said Tuesday that a resident, Bruce Phillips, came forward to adopt, Dolly, and shared photos of Phillips snuggling with the dog.
It was a very sweet ending to an otherwise sad story.
Surveillance cameras captured an unknown man approach the right side of a building in front of a gate. He then looks around again and then quickly picks up the puppy, tosses her over the gate and leaves, according to surveillance video. The puppy appears unable to get up after the fall.
An office worker later discovered the dog and Dolly, who wasn’t injured, was taken to the Carlsbad animal shelter.
