A Florida community is rallying around a pit bull named Sparta after the 3-year-old dog was thrown off a second-floor balcony while protecting a teenage girl from an alleged attacker.
The incident took place last Monday (September 29) in St. Petersburg, and ended with the arrest of 44-year-old Nigel Alexander Myers.
“Praying for that young girl and her good and protecting dog,” one commenter wrote. “Let’s hope bail is set super high for this man.”
