Officials say that Davis left the pit bull, now named River, inside a wire cage near the ocean early in the morning before high tide.

A woman walking with her own dog found River in the cage and rescued him before he was washed away. That woman is now fostering the pit bull.

HIGHLANDS, N.J. (CBS) – Authorities in Monmouth County have issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of leaving a young pit bull to drown near the water’s edge in New Jersey.

The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office says a person walking their dog in Veterans Memorial Park in Highlands, New Jersey, spotted the small dog cowering in the cage on a portion of sand between a bulkhead and the water as the tide came in on Monday morning. The person rescued the animal.

“If not for the heroic rescue act of the good Samaritan, the dog could have potentially drowned,” said the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in a Facebook post.

On Friday, authorities issued an arrest warrant for Aaron D. Davis, 36, of Long Branch in connection with the alleged abuse.

New Jersey Man Who Left Caged Dog To Drown Convicted On Cruelty Count
December 6, 2019 at 8:49 am

FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) — A man accused of leaving a young pit bull mix to drown in a cage at water’s edge in a rising tide last year has been convicted of animal cruelty. Aaron Davis, of Long Branch, will face up to 18 months in prison when he’s sentenced Feb. 14, after a Monmouth County jury convicted him on Thursday.

A person walking a dog in Veterans Memorial Park in Highlands in July 2018 spotted the small dog cowering in the cage on a portion of sand between a bulkhead and the water as the tide came in. The person and animal welfare officials soon rescued the animal and named it River.

Prosecutors have said Davis wanted revenge against his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend, who gave her the dog.
