A Crystal River man is accused of animal cruelty after shooting his dog in the back of the neck with a crossbow and leaving the injured dog alone in his car.
Citrus County deputies say 25-year-old Luke Adams ripped the arrow out of his dog but left the tip in the wound.
That's when a person noticed the injured dog in Adams' truck and contacted law enforcement.
CCSO Animal Control Officers responded and took the dog to a local veterinarian's hospital.
Despite hours of life-saving efforts, the dog could not be saved.
