Florida Man Throws Kittens From A Moving Car

Author Stiffy
According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Diego Torres Ruiz was spotted by a witness allegedly tossing two kittens out of his SUV window onto US-1 in Islamorada on November 28th. The witness reported that cars had to swerve to avoid hitting them.
Deputies said they stopped Ruiz after the witness provided a description of the car and its license plate number. He denied knowing anything about the kittens and deputies had not found them yet, so Ruiz was released.
However, when deputies returned to the scene later that day, one of the kittens had already died from its injuries. The second kitten was found and taken to a veterinarian with non life-threatening injuries. Ruiz was arrested and has been charged with two counts of animal cruelty.
The person who witnessed the incident ended up adopting the surviving kitten. [Source: WFLA]

The Best 7 Dog Bars In Tampa Bay

Hate leaving your furry friend at home while you go out? Next time bring them with you to one of our favorite 7 dog bars in Tampa Bay. Whether you want to be near downtown Tampa or by the beach in St. Pete, we have the list of places to bring along your best friend.

We went to Yelp to see what their recommendations are for the best dog bar in Tampa Bay. They had a list of 10 places but we condensed it to our favorite 7 spots (and added a few of our own favorite places.) Some of these spots require doggy patrons to have a membership to ensure all pups are healthy and nonaggressive. Some places allow day passes or you can get a monthly or yearly membership. Dog owners will also have to bring in proof of current vaccines and rabies shot.

You don’t need a dog to visit these places, but you must love them! Here are the best 7 dog bars in Tampa Bay.

  • Two Shepherds Taproom

    Tampa’s first and only off-leash A/C indoor and outdoor dog park and bar! Bring your furry friend here for some quality time or let them meet new friends. They have 20 rotating taps and a robust selection of wines to our human friends. Four-legged friends enjoy unlimited water and even splash through water features outside to cool down. They have food trucks for small bites and events every week like trivia and bingo.

  • Pups Pub

    Across the bridge in St. Pete is another indoor/outdoor dog bar! Pups Pub is Tampa’s only full liquor, off-leash dog bar. If beer isn’t really your thing, you’ll have more options at Pups Pub. Click here for membership info.
