A Jan. 25, 2012 article from independentweekender.com described how the President Judge of the Susquehanna County Court of Common Pleas sentenced a Montrose man to a total of 16 months in jail after he nearly slashed a Labrador Retriever to death.
The defendant used a knife to attack the lab which resulted in 18 individual wounds. The dog’s right leg was paralyzed and vet bills were nearly $1,200.00. The defendant plead quilty to an animal cruelty charge and no contest to a simple assault charge.
