Teacher charged with beating dog to death; rescue group ‘devastated’

BY JAMES SCALZITTI Staff Reporter/jscalzitti@suntimes.com August 10, 2012 8:16AM

The dog was a little over a year old, a yellow lab-chow mix named Doc, rescued from an abusive home in Oklahoma and brought to Chicago for adoption.

But the rescue organization was stunned Friday to learn that Doc was beaten to death, allegedly by his latest owner, a fourth grade teacher from Lake View who told police he was frustrated after the dog misbehaved, defecated on himself and resisted efforts to clean him up.

he was frustrated after the dog misbehaved, defecated on himself and resisted efforts to clean him up.

If the dog crapped on itself, it was TERRIFIED of this guy.

It sounds like this "teacher" is a sadist. He abused that poor dog. Imagine the head games this "teacher" must play on the poor 4th graders.

Anyone else have a Gaydar return ping from this guy?

[null and void]

No relation of yours, I trust?

[GBA]

Can I have a few moments alone with that disgusting piece of crap? I really need to explain something to him. It won’t take long.

Another coddled sociopath from the left.

And I would bet good money that this scumbag has for a profile a perfect %100 rating of PC speak.

WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

First of all, I’m willing to bet money that this guy is homosexual. Second, he’s from a culture notorious for its cruelty to animals. I hope he gets his teaching license revoked.

[kabumpo]

Yes, see my previous post.

[martin_fierro]

No relation of yours, I trust?

Nope, he's not related to me.

But there's a good chance that anything goofy occurring in a "Martin County" is.

If there is a 'Doggie Heaven', Doc is there & living a sheltered & beautiful life forever.

This is so heartbreaking & brought tears to my eyes when I read it.

That viscious guy needs to be fired & never have the chance to be near or influence children for the rest of his life.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Schools should teach kids something useful for a change.. like how to be a responsible dog owner..

It's pretty simple.. Patience, Persistence and last but not least.. EXERCISE! A tired dog is a happy, calm dog.

If only there were thousands of 'Dog Whisperers' to teach the clueless how to interact with dogs.

Our first rescue was a Cocker that had been beaten and thrown down a flight of stairs. He required a pin in his left hind leg. The wife decided to keep the husband and get rid of the dog.

We got a D@MN good dog out of the deal, but I often wondered who the husband beat after they got rid of the dog.

[verga]

My first thought.

What I’d like to say would get me banned from FR.

This guy is good looking. I don’t know if he’s single, but this is a warning to all women in Chicagoland — stay far away from a guy with such a short temper.

I don't think it's the woman that need to worry. I could be wrong, but my gaydar is going off.

Thanks for jerking me out from in front of that bus, Kent. Oh man. I doubt I’d last 5 seconds working in animal control on a “good” day. A situation like this would be *directly to jail* for me, bare handed. This is every rescuer’s worst fear. (Please remember that if their questions & examinations seem invasive or extreme. Not to this extent, but even then, some adoptions still fail)

We all know what this guy deserves. He *will* get it, eventually (in the next life).
