Officers sent to the 800 block of South Hillcrest at about 10 p.m. Thursday found Roxy, a brindle pit bull mix, with multiple injuries, Lt. James Espinoza said. The 7-month-old puppy had injuries to her ears, eyes and hind legs.
Espinoza called the case “horrific.”
In a video clip, the witness said he picked the dog up over his head and slammed it to the concrete. The dog was quiet and laid there "for about 10 minutes" without making any noise.
Roxy was taken to an animal hospital, where she is in good condition, Espinoza said. She is unable to eat, but is drinking water.
The suspect, Regenold Hackett, was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail late Thursday night.
The owner says she considered Hackett a friend and doesn't know why he would do such a horrible thing to her dog.
