A woman has been charged with animal cruelty after she allegedly threw a puppy out of an apartment window during an argument in Sydney’s west.

Police say the 24-year-old woman and a man were arguing at a unit in Kingswood on Monday afternoon when she picked up her eight-month-old dog and threw it out the bedroom window.

The Staffordshire bull terrier fell 15 metres to the ground and suffered a broken leg, teeth and internal injuries.

Inspector Simon Maund says the dog is still being care for by a vet.

“We know that there was an argument involving the dog. We’re not sure exactly why she took that action,” Inspector Maund said.

“The dog, in care at the moment, it’s stable. It’s undergoing further tests today and we’re hopeful that the dog will make a full recovery.”

The woman has been charged with animal cruelty causing serious injury.

She faced Parramatta Local Court today and will appear in court again on Thursday.

The woman has been refused bail.
