HOUSTON - A 3-month-old puppy is getting much needed TLC after a Ring doorbell camera captured the puppy being abused by its owner in Northwest Houston.

According to the Houston SPCA, Constables from Harris County Precinct 1 and a Houston SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigator rescued the puppy at a northwest Houston apartment complex near 249 and Cypresswood Drive last Friday.

In one video provided by Houston SPCA, you can see the owner of the puppy aggressively picking up the dog by the neck and swinging her around before walking away. The camera also picked up sounds of the puppy crying.
