The dog's owner, who provided only her first name, Amanda, to KHOU, said her family and the neighbor have had disputes over fencing and dogs for years. She never thought the woman would dump her dog into the trash.
The 7-pound-dog, Bentley, was not injured.
The Galveston County District Attorney's Office declined to press charges against the woman. Police said they believe that the woman has mental issues, and they are working to get her help.
