Animals make great companions and can be greatly loved. Dogs generally are used for protection; little dogs yap when unwanted visitors come around.
The fellow in question obviously had his hands too close to the car (and the driver) and deserved to be bit. He shouldn't have been that close or threatening to begin with.
Whether the lady was bitchy or not, does NOT give the man the RIGHT to strike back at her by damaging any of her property. This includes smashing her car, pulling her hair or tossing her dog or baby out into oncoming traffic.
This man has a problem with rage and is very, very cruel.
He is also out of control.

I find it amazing you disagree with the judge and the cheering courtroom who backed him by making an example of this young fellow.
It was a criminal act, and punishable by the court.
Anyone who wantonly destroys or tortures an animal, is psycholigically disturbed, and usually moves on to to larger animals.....or humans.
The fact he was in jail for wantonly stealing $68,000 worth of his company's equipment is another factor to this man's dispicable character.
I'm with Dan on this one. Maybe he'll get a taste of his abuse by an "animal lover" while he's in jail......
