An Arizona veterinarian has made bail after being arrested on suspicion of hitting a five-pound Chihuahua so hard he dislodged the dog's eye.
The vet -- Joshua Winston -- tells a Phoenix TV station he's "never ever physically abused an animal" in his life. But employees at an animal hospital say they saw him use his fist to hit the little dog named Bella in the head three to five times.
The dog survived, but had to undergo followup surgery to stitch her eye back into its socket.
The two techs who say they witnessed the incident tell the sheriff's office that the vet was extremely frustrated with the dog because she was uncooperative and aggressive during a visit to be spayed.
