Angry Owner Uses Dead Puppy as a Weapon

[Angelique]

ST. PETERS, Mo. - A woman angry that her new puppy had died pushed her way into a dog breeder’s home and repeatedly hit her on the head with the dead Chihuahua, authorities said.

The 33-year-old woman told police she had taken the puppy to a veterinarian, who said it was only 4 weeks old and needed to be returned to its mother. But before she could return the puppy, it died.

Early Wednesday, the woman went to the breeder’s home, pushed her way inside and began fighting with the breeder as she tried to make her way to the basement to get another puppy, police said.

The breeder wrestled the woman out of her house to the front porch, where the woman then hit the breeder over the head numerous times with the dead puppy, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported, citing police.

As the woman drove away, she waved the dead puppy out of the car’s sunroof and yelled threats at the breeder, police said. She later called the breeder and threatened her and her family, according to court records.

Police said they are considering felony burglary charges against woman and misdemeanor assault charges.

If there was physical assault and verbal threats, the police should have arrested her, not just let her drive away. Poor puppy.

Poor Puppy

Both that woman and the Breeder need to be checked out by the police... People that crazy should not be allowed to have a puppy, but why was the breeder selling puppies before they were old enough to be away from the mother....
