OMG! How horrible!

This makes me so sad and angry. I've never been able to understand how people can have so much cruelty in their hearts. This was the act of a very sick man, I hope that he is punished properly. My heart and thoughts go out to this woman and her brave little furbaby.

i am not saying what happened was right by any means, but I am friends with this person and the news basically f*ed him... it was his dog, not hers and he loved that dog... he did no such thing like choking or twisting the dog. The news mad it look so much worse "puppy dies trying to save mommy" as everyone on the page knows, all little puppies jump around by peoples feet, the dog was not protecting her and it was in the way and was accidentally fell upon. Oh and I like how a man is stabbed, and the dog makes bigger news... thats really messed up... she should be in jail for stabbing him

Interesting! The puppy should make the news in a bigger way because the pup was an innocent victim, just like innocent children that are caught up in domestic violence. Animals just like children cannot choose whether or not violence takes place in the home or not. They are all victims period!

Man accused of strangling, killing fiancée’s puppy

Man accused of strangling, killing fiancée’s puppy

By Heidi Roman
C & G Staff Writer

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Police say a 3-month-old Yorkshire terrier was killed as the result of an argument between a man and his fiancée in their Clinton Township apartment.

The man is accused of wringing the puppy’s neck and throwing it on the ground after it tried to protect the woman from his assault March 30.

Police have charged 29-year-old Omar Lateef Lathon-Bey with the torture and death of an animal.

“He lives on Lotus (in the Newport Apartments) with his fiancée — maybe ex-fiancée now,” Capt. Richard Maierle said. “They had gotten into an argument.”

The dispute allegedly began when she caught Lathon-Bey talking to another woman online. An argument broke out, and he began punching and choking her, Maierle said.

Police said the woman’s dog tried to come to her aid by nipping at Lathon-Bey’s heels.

“He twisted his neck and threw the dog on the ground,” Maierle said.

The woman reacted by stabbing him twice in the arm, police said. A 911 call was made to police, who rushed out to the scene at 8:30 p.m.

Sgt. Tom Terzo found the puppy and rushed it to an emergency animal hospital on Gratiot, south of Hall Road, for treatment.

“They tried to save the dog,” but it died from injuries caused by the strangling at 2 a.m. March 31, Maierle said.

Lathon-Bey was arrested and charged with animal torture, a felony. He was arraigned in 41-B District Court in Clinton Township and is free on a $10,000 personal bond.

Police also arrested the girlfriend, whose name was not released, but the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office declined to authorize charges against her, Maierle said.

as the saying goes..... u can choose ure friends.. but u cant choose youre family...or in the case of that helpless little puppy...u cant choose your owner..wot if it was a small child caught up in that domestic argument? would u think along the same lines? regardless who;s dog it was, his. or hers. it was deffenceless. if it was his dog he should have been protecting the poor little mite..

I don't think I would have stopped stabbing him & I have never hurt a fly!!!

The jerk will get it back two fold in jail/prison and he deserves everything that comes his way.

cinigee · 04-02-2009, 05:17 PM

My heart is breaking. How could anyone do that to such a cute little thing. He needs his neck broken.......I hope they throw the book at him. God Bless that little Yorkie.
