Video Shows Man Throwing Dog Off Wareham Bridge: Officials

WAREHAM, MA – The Wareham Department of Natural Resources is investigating a surveillance video that shows a man throwing his dog off a bridge and then jumping in after it. The incident happened Friday night on the Onset Avenue bridge, which is approximately 12 feet tall.

"Dogs are not supposed to be tossed off of a bridge and no they don't 'like it,'" the Wareham Department of Natural Resources wrote on Facebook. The DNR knows the owner's identity, and the dog is okay, according to the agency.

The manager of a nearby restaurant told NECN the dog ran there after it got out of the water.

The DNR said it will provide an update when its investigation is complete.
