The Ottawa Humane Society says a puppy was badly injured when he was thrown from a moving car last week.
The organization says a nine-week-old Pekingese named Gilbert broke three ribs and had trouble breathing after the incident.
The humane society says a passerby who witnessed the dog being thrown called the city, and a bylaw officer took the pup to an emergency vet.
The group is raising money for Gilbert’s veterinary care.
It says costs have have already exceeded $3,000.
Eventually, the Ottawa Humane Society says it hopes to put Gilbert into foster care, and then have him adopted by his “forever home.”
