Man Beats Tiny Yorkie to Death for Vomiting in His Car!
What's more, Miami Beach police allege Sigman Hernandez abused the dog--which weighed less than 10 pounds--in a fit of rage brought on when the animal vomited in his car.
The Yorkie was found the night of April 7 in a parking garage next to a Publix grocery store by an employee who thought it was dead.
According to a police report, officers responded to the scene and found the dog still breathing, but with her abdomen badly swollen.
As officers rushed the dying dog to an emergency veterinary clinic, she would occasionally "moan in pain" according to the police report.
An X-ray revealed the dog had seven broken ribs on just one side, with more broken on the other.
Vets told police that the dog, who authorities would nickname Lily, had bloodshot eyes and thoracic swelling that indicated she had also been choked.
Lily clung to life for two days, but vets were not able to save her.
Police say they identified Hernandez from surveillance footage they say shows him pulling into the garage at Publix, where he was working as a security guard.
On Wednesday, Hernandez turned himself in to police, who say he confessed to "slapping and possibly choking his dog because she had vomited in his car," according to a police report.
Cops say Hernandez also admitted to removing the dog from his car and abandoning her in the parking garage.
He faces a charge of animal cruelty and bonded out of jail Thursday morning.
As he left jail, WKMG asked Hernandez if he'd injured his dog.
Hernandez replied, "No."

Elephant in classroom
As bizarre as it sounds, it is true that they found a baby elephant in a classroom as he was about to die of hunger and weakness. He had been ill for some time and had been separated from his mother and the rest of the herd. What really happened is that this little elephant must have been a part of a hunt for a mature elephant but he ended up getting hurt. It is really tragic but luckily there was this school in the village where he ended up getting unconscious.
The recovery
It is no less than a miracle that the elephant was recovered by the utmost efforts made by the villagers. They took care of him well and that helped him get better with the time. The baby elephant looks adorable and faith in humanity is restored after the villagers did everything they could do to help the poor elephant. This is why he took no time in recovering and going back to the wild to find his parents.
