Door Kick Prank Leads to Dog's Tragic Death
28 Jan
Summary
- Teen arrested for felony burglary and mischief charges.
- Dog escaped through broken door, later died by car.
- Prank inspired by viral social media 'door kick challenge'.
A social media challenge involving a "door-kicking prank" resulted in the death of a 3-year-old Yorkshire terrier named Spookie. Authorities arrested a 14-year-old on January 27, 2026, for felony and misdemeanor charges of burglary and criminal mischief stemming from the incident on December 20, 2025.
The teen allegedly participated in a "ding dong ditch" game inspired by a viral social media trend. Security footage captured the moment the victim's front door was forcefully kicked open. Spookie escaped through the damaged door and was later killed by a passing car.
The dog's owner, Dissany Cid, was not home at the time and expressed deep sorrow over Spookie's death, stating the dog did not deserve to die that way. She sought closure after learning of the arrest, having previously been told no one would be charged.
