CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. - A Pinellas County man says his girlfriend smiled before she threw his dog off the seventh-floor balcony of his Clearwater Beach apartment.
Shelley Nicole Vaughn has been charged with felony animal cruelty for killing the 3-year-old pug. Eric Adeson is just numb.
"I never thought anybody could do that," said Adeson. "I never thought anybody would have that in them."
Adeson says he is traumatized after watching the woman he loves kill his pet, Bucky.
"She picked up Bucky over there, and she just smiled and just threw them off the balcony," said Adeson.
The pup plunged seven stories onto the asphalt parking lot below. Bucky did not survive.
