A dog named Gracie was kidnapped from a Blue Ridge Community College student, put into a trash bag, and thrown off a five-story parking garage near the stadium at JMU.

"Whenever someone takes someone�s animal and abuses it in this manner, it�s of the character of a regular breaking and entering that we work. An animal to some people is just like a child," says investigator Mike Spiggle of the HPD.

Miraculously, the dog survived the fall and is recovering from extensive surgery. Police are investigating several leads in the case.
