THE US military is investigating a YouTube video that apparently shows a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff.
Major Chris Perrine from the Marine Corps Base Hawaii said the man appears to be based with a unit in the islands.
The video has caused an internet backlash after footage of the incident was uploaded onto YouTube - even though it could be fake.
The authenticity of the clip, which has been viewed more than 32,000 times since it was uploaded about 36 hours ago, has not been verified, although forum members and bloggers have been frantically trying to track down details of the solider.
