A WOMAN has been arrested accused of arranging to have sex with a dog to "celebrate" the animal's first birthday.

Police say Rebekah Little used her Instagram page to find an animal to abuse at her home in Houston, Texas.

In December 2017, she was contacted by Jerrid Cook, who said he and another man named Kevin Cook would bring their dog, Ryder, to the apartment to "have fun".

Jerrid said the dog wanted sex with a human "as a birthday present", prosecutors say.

Court documents say the two men took Ryder to Little home on Christmas Day, but the pet "was not cooperating" with the plan.

"He was too hyper, jumping everywhere," the documents claim.

Little, a real estate professional, told Houston Police that she didn't ultimately have sex with the dog because she was too nervous.

Instead she had sex with Jerrid.

All three have now been charged with bestiality, although only Little is in custody.

Police have put out warrants for the arrest of Jerrid and Kevin.

Because the two have not yet been arrested, full details of their alleged actions have not been released.

Texas state law does not require that a human actually has sex with an animal before bestiality charges can be brought.

It is enough for a person simply to have planned and intended to have sex with an animal.

It is not clear whether Jerrid and Kevin Cook are related.

Texas only officially banned bestiality in 2017, and was the last US state to do so.

Texas state senator Carol Alvarado sponsored the bill that outlawed the abuse.

"I'm glad to see that it's working," she told CNN.

"It's unfortunate that people are engaged in this kind of activity."
