The cute Border terrier managed to scramble away after falling 20ft heavily on to hard, rough waste-ground below.
A shocked witness watched helplessly as the thug pulled up in Black Vauxhall Corsa and callously threw the animal over the bridge before vanishing.
The RSPCA has launched a cruelty investigation and fears a family may be missing their cherished pet.
Despite falling such a potentially deadly height from the bridge in Lingham Lane, Moreton, Merseyside, the terrier is recovering well from his ordeal.

“Why someone would throw an animal off a bridge is beyond us. Milo was very lucky to not be seriously injured.
“We are keen to find out why this happened. He may also be someone’s much-loved pet who has gone missing, and if so then it would be great to reunite him with his owner.”
