A pair of beagle dogs were found severely injured and covered in blood, after they were thrown out the window of a moving car on a busy New York road.
The two dogs were rescued by a lorry driver on December 12, after he saw them being thrown from a vehicle in Binghamtom, New York.
Police stopped to assist the driver after spotting him carrying one of the dogs – who was badly injured – with a second following in tow.
Now named Trooper and Adam, an officer applied bandages to the injured job to stem the bleeding, while other officers attended to the second dog and kept him warm.

The truck driver offered a detailed account to authorities of the chain of events, after he saw the dogs be thrown from the rear passenger window of a ‘very dirty’ car on the Interstate 81 in Whitney Point.
He then pulled over immediately to attend to them.
