A veterinarian is treating a puppy who according to police, was dragged across a Warren street by a woman.

An officer patrolling a neighborhood on the city’s Southeast Side on Friday reports that he spotted 23-year-old Chaquana Morgan dragging a pit bull puppy held by a chain across Grandview Street SE.

According to the report, the officer couldn’t tell if the dog was still alive.

Morgan was handcuffed and booked into the county jail on a charge of animal cruelty.

Jason Cooke, President of Healthy Hearts and Paws animal welfare project, says on his Facebook page that the dog was treated at the MedVet clinic for a hemorrhage in one of his eyes.

The dog, which Cooke has named “Wilson” in honor of a Warren Police officer, has been prescribed painkillers.
