Dog leashed to moving motorbike
Mount Pleasant, NY (US)

Incident Date: Monday, Jul 14, 2008
County: Westchester

Disposition: Not Charged

Person of Interest: Henry Remy

Authorities are considering animal cruelty charges against a man accused of making his dog run alongside his motorbike in Westchester County.

Mount Pleasant police didn't initially consider an animal cruelty charge against Henry Remy because the dog appeared to be OK. But Police Chief Louis Alagno says he reopened the investigation Thursday.

The 50-year-old Remy was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. Police say he told them he was riding home to Queens - about 30 miles away - with the dog leashed to the handlebars, trying to keep up.

There is no telephone listing for Remy, who is free on $750 bail. It couldn't immediately be determined Saturday whether he has a lawyer.
