According to Buenos Aires cop Santiago Quiroga, the dog is ‘very sweet’ and ‘very playful’
Authorities said that the dog’s life was narrowly spared because the sanitation department had cleared out the container hours before she was dumped inside.
Officer Santiago Quiroga was filmed hopping into the dumpster and placing a leash around the abandoned dog.
He tried to get her to take a step forward before he placed a towel around her and handed her over to a man.
‘When I saw inside the container you could notice that she was very scared,’ Quiroga told C5N television.
‘She is a very sweet dog, very playful. The truth is there is no word for what the woman did. Well the judicial system will determine that.’
Llauca was taken into custody and is now facing animal cruelty charges.
