Mutts most wanted: Salt Lake City

The Humane Society of Utah is offering a $3,000 reward to whoever turns in the jerk who threw a boxer named "Seven" off an overpass and into interstate highway traffic.

And the Animal Advocacy Alliance of Utah has kicked in an additional $5,000.

On Wednesday, drivers reported someone throwing the dog from the overpass above Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City, the Utah Highway Patrol said. A passerby retrieved the dog and took it to a veterinarian.

Seven suffered a broken jaw and internal injuries, and a fund has been established to help with his veterinary bills as well.

The dog, since reunited with its owner, apparently escaped or was lured from his fenced yard.

The Humane Society is urging anyone with information to call the society's cruelty investigator.

Maybe he was somehow saving the US from terrorists -- before jumping to conclusions, it is importatn to know why he did it. It may have been Al Queada trained, or something like that.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
