A man who allegedly misled police after he abandoned his dog and left it to die in his car has been charged with additional offences.
Queensland Police had been investigating the alleged theft of a vehicle and Arnie the German shepherd from Wynnum on Saturday, November 8.
The car was found by a member of the public parked on Amelia Street in Fortitude Valley on November 17 and Arnie was found dead inside the vehicle.
Two days later, the 43-year-old owner of the vehicle, Nathan McKeown, was charged, with police alleging the car was not stolen.

Police allege Mr McKeown drove the vehicle into Fortitude Valley at about 10:30pm on November 7 and left the vehicle with Arnie inside.
The next day, he allegedly told his partner the vehicle had been stolen from Wynnum.
The woman, who police say was not aware her partner had allegedly taken the vehicle, reported the car and dog as stolen to police.
On November 20, Mr McKeown was charged with one count of breach of duty of care of animals by failing to provide under the Animal Protection Act.

Today, police said the charge had been amended to one count of injuring animals (causing injury or death) by night under the Criminal Code.
Mr McKeown has also been charged with three counts of driving a motor vehicle without a driver’s licence, one count of driving under the influence and serious obstruction of police.
He is expected to face a Brisbane Court later this month.
