I searched the web and located a news story titled as “Watching Friend’s Dog, He Stabbed It 55 Times, Police Say”, written by Andy Newman (2018). This incident happened last to last year in December, when a man named Stephen Richardson stabbed and killed his friend’s 18 months old Pitbull puppy, named Onyx, as according to him he tried to bit him and attacked him. This is a shocking incident as even if a puppy bites a man then he has the right to defend himself but was it necessary to stab him to so badly that he died and another thing that the attacking puppy was so much dangerous that he had to kill the dog. After all, the dog was only 18 months old.
