An angry Dunedin dog owner allegedly grabbed his dog by the throat and threw it through a glass door because he was "frustrated".
Police were called to a Mornington address by neighbours at 8.20pm on Monday after they reported concerns for the dog's welfare.
The dog's owner, a 30-year-old man, told police he had "got frustrated at his dog" while trying to feed it.
He then grabbed his dog by the throat and threw it through a glass door, which smashed, he said.
The dog was found, unharmed, in the area a short time later, Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said.
It was taken to a local vet for a check-up.
Sgt Lee said the investigation into the incident was ongoing. — Allied Media
