Animal activist Shravan Krishnan had posted a photo of the dog on his Facebook page informing that the canine was found alive.
Sharing the picture on Facebook, Shravan Krishnan wrote, "Good news - The dog has been found alive. She is not able to walk properly. She is with us now. Will be under treatment. What breaks my heart is that she was still wagging her tail (sic)."
Meanwhile, Chennai Police today arrested two medical college students for throwing the dog off the roof of a multi-storied building. They were taken to a local court which granted them bail.
"We had put the video of a person throwing a dog from the roof-top of a building in the Facebook and got several leads and confirmed that the two persons on the video were students of a medical college," activist Shravan Krishnan said earlier.
He said the police were also very helpful in identifying the persons who did the cruel act.
The video of the incident, uploaded on social media couple of days back, wrung the hearts of even the strongest as it showed a youth on the roof-top of a multi-storied building was holding a dog which he threw off in cold-blood.
Police also reached the college and held discussions with the college authorities. Police had earlier urged the parents of the accused to see that their wards surrender at the earliest.
