Paulo Raposo, 45, of Massachusetts is facing charges after police in Fairhaven say he burned his dog with a hot fireplace poker.

Police had been investigating Raposo since June 19 when officers were called to a home on Morton Street after receiving a report he had been abusing his one and a half-year-old dog named Bella.

Authorities said the Portuguese water dog was reportedly kicked and dragged and allegedly burned with a hot fireplace poker.

Fairhaven Animal Control was called in and removed Bella from the home. The dog was then taken to an area veterinary hospital where her burns were deemed to be deliberate.

A fuckwad pleaded guilty to 2018 charges he burned his 1-year-old Portuguese water dog with “a hot poker,” court records say.

Paulo A. Raposo, 46, pleaded guilty to a single count of animal cruelty according to court records.

Judge Dominic J. Paratore accepted the guilty plea and placed it on file for year. The judge also imposed the condition that Raposo have no animals in his possession as well as pay a $50 victim witness fee.

The placing of the guilty plea on file for a year means that prosecutors with Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III’s office can move for sentencing if there is a violation.

Prosecutors recommended a six-month sentence to the Bristol County House of Corrections that would be suspended for a year.

Fairhaven Lt. Kevin Kobza, a department spokesman, commented after the disposition of the case that the dog has been “removed from an unhealthy environment and Raposo was held accountable and received his punishment.”

Raposo admitted he abused the dog, telling Fairhaven police in a July 2, 2018, interview he had an alcohol and cocaine problems as well as family problems and took his anger out on the dog, according to court records.

“He stated specifically that on the day before we were called he was drunk and high and he had kicked the dog and burned it with a piece of metal used for roasting marshmallows,” according to the officer’s report.

The female dog, whose name at the time was Bella, kept licking the wound, causing it to grow, court records say.

A veterinarian at the New England Animal Hospital noted that the dog’s injuries were consistent with “being intentionally burned,” court records say. A witness also said that Raposo used a blow torch on the dog. Fairhaven police described it as “a hot poker.”

The lesion to the dog’s skin was about 2 inches in diameter and the hair was gone, according to the veterinarian’s report.
