Hell if that were MY dog he whipped, I'd say the man got off too easy

It wasn't yours, it was his, and it "wasn't seriously hurt", a statement trying to make it sound like it was hurt.

If the dog was hurt they would have a laundry list of injuries to use during the prosecution, but they don't.

Remember that when you're charged with a felony for nothing.

And they wonder why the dog ran away. Guaranteed this man beat his dog before.

The right sentence, though I'd make him the attack dummy for the local K-9 police dogs.
