Following a combined investigation with Memphis Animal Services and the police department that focused on unsettling video, 34-year-old Justin Johnson was charged with aggravated animal cruelty.
Thousands of people have seen the horrible video. The man can be seen repeatedly striking the dog.
At this point, Brixleigh , the puppy, is now safe and receiving treatment, according to Memphis police.
