A white woman who "yanked her dog" while calling the police pretending to be hysterical and claiming a black man was "threatening her life" has been allowed to keep her dog.
Amy Cooper was seen pulling her dog by the collar, shocking viewers who called her out for animal cruelty. After the video was released and went viral, rescue group Abandoned Angels had gained temporary custody of the cocker-spaniel called Henry.
Christian Cooper was birdwatching in The Ramble, a protected wildlife area in Central Park, New York, when he urged the woman to put the animal on a lead, as is required in that area of the park.
She could be seen aggressively pulling the dog in a bid to control it. Social media users raised concerns for Henry's wellbeing who
