Newly released footage shows the moment a Cadillac driver drags a massive dog and brutally throws the animal over a fence in New Jersey.
The video shows a man wearing a dark tank top and pants walking a pit bull mix on a leash toward the gate of an Atlantic City shelter on Absecon Boulevard.
As he approached the corner of the barrier, the owner of the black Cadillac sedan quickly picked up the dog and threw him over the fence, causing the animal to fall onto the bricks.
The Humane Society of Atlantic County later said in a statement that this was the fourth time a pit bull had been dumped over the fence by the man in the middle of the night.

Jessie Scholder, assistant director of the shelter, found the pit bull wearing the brown T-shirt the next morning and confirmed that the animal had not suffered any injuries.
When the workers cut off the dog’s shirt, they saw clear scars on her back.
“She missed her where the scars are. They’re old scars. Her fur may not grow back,” the director said. explained.
Scholder also noted that since April, the man has forcibly thrown three pit bull mixes with similar scars over the fence.
The concerned worker said, “It’s really dangerous. We’re right on the White Horse Pike. We want people to understand that it’s dangerous. Dogs can get over fences, they can run into traffic, get stuck in the marsh.
‘We need [people] come in and try to surrender [the dogs] during our normal working hours, where it is safe and controlled. It is risky to leave dogs out there, especially in the middle of the night.’
