Yes we know about "those kind of dogs"...my neighbour's dog just goes
on and on, barking. Based on some of my findings and observations, the
dog is basically barking out of boredom.
But instead of researching (like I did) this guy attempted to break
the neck of his neighbour's dog!
According to wcsh6:
A man is behind bars for allegedly trying to kill his neighbors dog,
because it wouldn't stop barking, according to police.
To Jessie Angelli, her dog Oreo is much more than just a pet.
"I love her, she's my baby," Angelli said.
She admits Oreo makes a lot of noise.
"She's a barker, but still, you can't kill someone's dog because they
bark," she said.
However, that's exactly what her neighbor tried to do. Portsmouth
Police said on Friday morning, Angelli's next-door neighbor at the
Portsmouth Apartments on Rockland Street, Roger Pelletier, broke into
her apartment, grabbed her dog and tried to break its neck.
"He said the dog had been barking incessantly and that he took it into
his own hands and that he was going to kill the dog," Portsmouth
Police Capt. Frank Warchol said.
Angelli said she fought back and finally yanked Oreo away from
Pelletier and called 911. When police arrived, they said Pelletier
admitted he had had enough of the barking and so he tried to kill his
neighbor's dog. Officers arrested him on burglary, assault and animal
cruelty charges.
During the investigation, police found a cat inside Pelletier's
apartment that needed attention.
"The cat was severely matted and because of that the animals claws
were well overgrown," Capt. Warchol said.
The SPCA now has the cat and is investigating the situation.
As for Oreo, Angelli said despite hundreds of dollars worth of tools
to get her to quiet down, she continues to bark inside their
apartment. Angelli said it may be annoying, but Oreo didn't deserve
the abuse.
"If I didn't get her away from him, he was going to kill her," Angelli said.
Pelletier is being held at Rockingham County Jail on $5,000 cash bail.
Police said he could face an additional and separate animal cruelty
charge for the condition of his cat.
Hmm!
