His name means “good luck” in Japanese — and apparently luck was with pup Yoshi when a man named Michael Lee Britton threw him into oncoming traffic.
According to Fox 35 News, who first reported the story, Yoshi survived a toss into a busy stretch of road in Ocala, Florida, by Britton, who was subsequently arrested and charged with animal cruelty, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.
“He had said to somebody at the scene or jail, he was trying to put the dog out of its misery, because it had been shot with an arrow,” Ocala Police Lt. Brian Young told the station.
