Authorities have charged a man suspected of wrapping a dachshund dog’s legs and jaws with duct tape before throwing it from his car window into a freezing ditch in rural Missouri, where it was found 12 hours later, cold, but still alive.

Authorities in Jefferson County are still looking for the owner of the dog, which they have called “Jimmy.” The owners are not the same as the suspect, who was named on Feb. 14, as Paul Garcia, 39, charged with animal cruelty and armed criminal action.
