Pup beaten in car has broken bones, human bite mark

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WREG) - A puppy beaten outside a Memphis restaurant last month is now in the care of Tails of Hope Dog Rescue, recovering from several injuries.

The brutal beating of the eight-month-old pup named Brixleigh was captured on camera and shared online. The video showed a man repeatedly hitting a dog in the backseat of a car and the dog crying out in pain.

A day after the video surfaced, the dog was surrendered to police, and a warrant was issued for Justin Johnson, 34, for aggravated animal cruelty.
