According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred on May 17 at the Main Street Boat Ramp in Middleburg. A group of four to five children was seen throwing a chihuahua-mix dog into the water, holding it underwater and physically abusing it.

They are described only as being between 9 and 13 years old. Crime Stoppers is seeking more information and encourages community members who may know something to speak up.
