A Florida man is facing animal cruelty and child abuse charges after killing two of his fiancée's dogs, Volusia County Sheriff’s officials said.
A 16-year-old boy told his mother that William Petty, 49, had tried to make him shoot one of the dogs, the release said.
The boy told investigators that Petty loaded up two of her dogs a female Catahoula mix and a male Dachshund — and drove them to a wooded area. He pulled out a revolver and shot the female dog in the head. He then handed the teen the gun and told him to shoot the other dog, the release said.
The teen said he shot into the ground and Petty took the gun back and shot the other dog. He then tossed both dogs into the woods, the release said.
