You have a lot more patience than I would have had - I do not tolerate abuse of animals of any kind. Everyone else has been much more understanding than I could have been. If she doesn't give you the puppy or get some help for her anger issues, I would consider alerting the local SPCA and risk losing the friendship before I could chance having a dead or seriously injured puppy on my conscience. This is just me and I'm not speaking for anyone else but what kind of person can hurt a puppy...?
This is just so sad.
Best of Luck,
