A woman is free after posting $2,000 bail in a case of animal torture in which a dog was dragged to its death, KSAT-TV is reporting.

Herlinda Trigo, 44, was arrested Wednesday afternoon near General McMullen Drive and Ceralvo Street, the station says, on a charge of cruelty to non-livestock/torture.

A man had called 911 to report that he was following a pickup that had a dog tied to its bumper south on Southwest 34th Street, the station says.

The caller said he’d flagged down the truck to point out what was going on but that the woman driver had sworn at him and sped off, KSAT says. The caller said he heard the dog’s neck snap and saw it die, then watched as the driver showed it to a friend who laughed.

Police caught up with Trigo and questioned her and a passenger about the dog, the station says. She reportedly admitted dumping the animal along Fortuna Road.

Officers found the dog’s body, which bore the marks of being dragged, with a rope around its neck, KSAT says. Trigo reportedly said she’d tied the animal to the truck because it had given birth to a litter of puppies and that she “made a mistake” by driving off.
