(CMR) A Florida woman was charged with animal cruelty after she threw her German shepherd from a motel balcony in Daytona Beach.
Allison Murphy (35) allegedly threatened to leap before throwing the dog, which miraculously landed on its feet.
According to the Volusia Sheriff's Department, they were called to the hotel after Murphy reportedly attacked a maid and threatened to jump from the second floor.
When the police arrived at the hotel, she locked herself in her room.
She later opened the door, walked out with her leashed dog, picked the animal up, and threw her over the railing.
The dog, who has been nicknamed “Miracle,” was not seriously injured in the fall and is now being cared for by the Volusia County Animal Services.
Authorities said a sewing needle that was lodged in the dog's right thigh has since been removed.
