Two teens have been arrested on animal cruelty charges after they were allegedly recorded shooting at a restrained dog.

The Etowah County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday was notified about the video, said Sheriff Jonathon Horton.

The video showed the dog – whose name is Bullet – tied to a tree in the woods. He was running in a circle around the tree as he was shot at with a long gun.

By Saturday afternoon, the sheriff said, all involved had been identified and a weapon recovered.

Trenton Dewayne Sudberry, 18, of Gadsden, is charged with animal cruelty. He is being held in the Etowah County Detention Center.

The second suspect, whose name is not being released, is also charged with animal cruelty through the juvenile court system.

Nicholas Jared Wayne, one of Bullet’s owners, shared a post on Facebook Saturday by a female who said she had found the dog and was looking for its owners. He said they messaged her and showed proof that it was their dog, but to no avail.

He also shared a video of someone shooting at Bullet, saying he feared his dog was dead.

Bullet, who had run away, was returned to his family late Sunday. Wayne said he does not know the suspects.

“Bullet will be receiving a full examination and seems to be in good spirits being back with his family and should make a good recovery,’’ Horton said.

Wayne said Bullet will receive a full checkup because he returned home with a noticeable limp.

“The community came together to help us, and I just want everyone who mistreats animals to know that we will not put up with it,’’ Wayne said.

Horton also thanked the community members who shared the information and provided tips to investigators.

“It’s unfortunate that animals are mistreated,’’ Horton said. “Animals cannot speak up, so we have to make sure we do our best to take care of them and be their voice. Animal cases are just as important as any case we work.”
