Man fights dog, punch thrown (by man)

CBS

(CBS/AP) ALIQUIPPA, Pa. - A western Pennsylvania man has been cited for animal cruelty and other crimes after police say he tried to pick a fight with his grandmother's 15-year-old dog, punching the pet while it was lying on the floor.

Rough.

21-year-old Nicholas Woodell, of Hopewell Township, was briefly jailed Sunday after the incident.

The Beaver County Times say the "dogfight" occurred Oct. 10 when Wooddell pounded on his grandmother's door to get inside. Once there, police say Wooddell punched the dog which was lying on the floor and left. Police say Wooddell had recently been staying at his grandmother's home but was asked to leave.

Now it really seems unlikely he'll be invited back.
