Police say a Kansas man threw his girlfriend's caged miniature poodle in a river. Witnesses rescued the dog Monday.
Police say the man, 24, tossed the kenneled dog into the Missouri River at Riverfront Park in Leavenworth, Kansas. Police arrested the man for animal cruelty.
A Leavenworth police spokesman says the man took his girlfriend's three dogs after a fight. Her Chihuahua was spotted running loose at another park. Her brindle pug terrier was with her boyfriend's family.
