WAREHAM, Mass. — The Wareham Department of Natural Resources is sending out a warning after a video was released of a dog being thrown off a bridge.

People..... Please!!!!! Dogs are not supposed to be tossed off of a bridge and no they don’t “like it.” WarehamDNR will be pursuing this issue as well as the bridge jumping offense of the human that tossed his dog off the bridge in excess of 12’ into the saltwater below.
