German shepherd thrown off bridge adopted by Oklahoma state trooper who found him
The German shepherd thrown from an overpass onto Interstate 40 earlier this month is being adopted by the state trooper who was the first to come to his aid.
The dog has been named Rookie.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Jennifer Fisher plans to bring him home to her family, News9 reports.
The search for the person who threw the dog onto the highway in Oklahoma City — it was witnessed by a truck driver — continues, and the reward for information leading to an arrest has grown to $7,500.
Rookie had a fracture to his rear left leg and internal bleeding, and was treated and operated on at Oklahoma State University Veterinary College Teaching Hospital.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s office at (405)-869-2501.

I hope they find the monster who did this. No excuse for such inhumane, despicable behavior. We really need to toughen the laws.
