A woman has been charged after throwing an Australian Bulldog off a cliff into a kennel more than a year ago.
A bushwalker had heard the dog yelping on the morning of January 23 last year at the bottom of a cliff face near Clive Bisell Drive on Mount Ousley, near Wollongong, south of Sydney.
The animal was found seriously injured in the kennel and appeared ’emaciated and in very poor health’.
An emergency services and SES rescue mission was launched to retrieve the dog, but he was unfortunately euthanized at a local vet due to his severe injuries.
A 32-year-old woman was arrested at a house in Horsley, Wollongong, on Friday morning.
