NewzA front desk employee at a Hialeah apartment building called police after checking surveillance cameras and seeing a woman repeatedly strike a small dog, according to police.Graphic video obtained by Local 10 News on Friday captures a pet owner repeatedly slapping a small dog inside an elevator.The same woman is also seen walking toward the Metro Parc apartment building when the dog slips out of its collar. She then jumps onto the animal and picks it up by its hind legs, holding it upside down as the dog appears to be in pain and tries to free itself.Hialeah police identified the woman as 42-year-old Miriam Yilian De La Rosa. She appeared before a Miami-Dade County judge Friday on three counts of animal cruelty after the building’s front desk employee called 911 to report the alleged abuse she saw on surveillance video.De La Rosa was also captured on surveillance video in the building’s lobby on a separate occasion, allegedly grabbing the same dog by the neck and striking it aggressively more than a half-dozen times.Residents said they were shocked that someone could abuse their own pets, which many consider family.“Those who mistreat animals, small or large.
That’s abuse,” one resident said.Jail records show De La Rosa was being held on a $12,500 bond at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, as of Thursday evening. All three of her dogs have been taken by Animal Services for a medical evaluation and for their safety, officials say. .l10-neighborhood, .l10-neighborhood * { box-sizing: border-box; } .l10-neighborhood{ --blue-dark:#0d2c73; --blue:#1f57c4; --blue-light:#3370e6; --gray-bg:#f2f3f5; --gray-border:#d6d8dc; --text-dark:#1a1a1a; --white:#ffffff; font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,Arial,sans-serif; max-width:860px; margin:1.5rem auto; border-radius:10px; overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--gray-border); background:var(--gray-bg); box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.12); text-align:center; } .l10-head{ background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--blue-dark),var(--blue)); color:var(--white); padding:12px 16px; font-weight:800; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:1rem; letter-spacing:.3px; display:flex; justify-content:center; align-items:center; gap:8px; } .l10-body{ max-width:740px; margin:0 auto; padding:0 16px 18px; } .l10-sub{ margin:12px 0 10px; font-size:.95rem; color:var(--text-dark); font-weight:500; text-align:center; } .l…
