Other message :
"The person who threw the dog from the bridge is identified and the police is already searching for him (Apparently they arrested him). I hope it won't take long. He is known to officers for
other crimes too (stealing). The dog is alive and veterinarians are looking after him, but there is no information if it will be possible to avoid euthanasia and cure him."

Update Nov. 21
Police in the Lithuanian town of Kaunas arrested 22-year-old Svajunas Beniukas on animal cruelty charges after internet users helped police identify him and the bridge from which the small brown
dog was thrown.
The video shows a man holding the dog, called Pipiras, Lithuanian for pepper, and laughing as his friend records the event on his mobile phone.
Checking that the coast is clear, he makes a joke about dogs flying and then drops the animal off the bridge.
Crashing onto a farm track below, Pipiras yelps in pain, and lies twitching on the ground.
But despite falling over 20 feet and sustaining multiple fractures and internal injuries, vets said the dog would survive.
"He's lived with me for four to five years," Petras Dunskaitis, the dog's 70-year-old owner told a Lithuanian newspaper. "He didn't deserve such a fate."
Originally posted on a Lithuanian website, outrage at the treatment of the dog snowballed as the 40 seconds of footage spread across the globe, even making it to Facebook through the efforts of a
3,000-strong group calling itself the "Lithuanian Dog Support Group".
Lithuanian police said a key breakthrough was tracing the local website, www.15min.it, where the footage originally appeared. The website's users identified the man as Beniukas.
Local media reported that Beniukas may have sought revenge on the dog after it was suspected of killing some of his mother's chickens.
He has been charged wtih animal cruelty and faces up to a year in jail.
