That is a heart-breaking story. I can't imagine hitting my dog, as a matter of fact, I can't even get mad at them. When I tell them they are bad for doing something, they look at me with those sad puppy eyes and make me want to cry. So then I go pick them up, give them kisses, and say I'm sorry!
You are in a very tough situation. I would call your friend and explain to her that you didn't mean to upset her but animal cruelty is wrong. It's illegal! Apologize and explain to her that the puppy doesn't know where to go potty. It hasn't been taught yet. It doesn't just have instincts to go outside.
Don't tell her this, but this is an interesting quote:

There is no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad owner.

And I agree with that quote and also everyone else's posts on here. Keep us updated. Hopefully you will get to take that puppy and give it a better life.
