Carabinieri police in the
northern city of Piacenza have reported a 55-year-old man to
criminal prosecutors for alleged kicking a six-month-old puppy
to death in the spring.
Local people called the cops, saying they had seen a man
attacking the animal in a park.
The dog, which belonged to the suspect's partner, was taken
to a vet, but to no avail.
The 55-year-old said he found the dog poisoned, but an
autopsy confirmed the version of the witnesses, sources said.
