A Florida woman is facing animal cruelty charges — after she was caught on surveillance camera beating her puppy and drowning it in a swimming pool.

And if that wasn't enough, he had posed in front of the camera with the dead body of the dog Sadie, Telegrafi reports.

The footage of this act was published by the Wayne Ivy sheriff's office in the US, where Erica Black, 32, takes the dog and enters the pool, holding it under water until it dies.

After the investigation, it was found that Black was lying on the bed next to the dead body of the dog, and had broadcast live video.

This caused the police to intervene and arrest the 32-year-old woman, who is expected to face justice.

Black is reported to have been arrested earlier, after stabbing her "roommate" on two different occasions.
