A 35-year-old city employee in Oklahoma was arrested this week for allegedly jumping a fence to stab his neighbor’s puppy in the head with a butter knife.
Cody Ryan Davis was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count of felony cruelty to animals.
According to a press release from the Pauls Valley Police Department, officers responded at about 8 p.m. on Sunday to a 911 regarding “animals at large” — meaning not restrained or under the control of an owner.
They said he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and told them the puppy was trying to fight his dogs through the fence, and that he threw the butter knife at the dog.
Misty Harrison, the dog’s owner said her six-month-old puppy was following one of Harrison’s friends back from the store when the dog went up to a fence.
“This dog and the two in the backyard are going back and forth with each other with a fence between them,” said Pauls Valley Police Chief Derrick Jolley.
“He jumped the fence, stabbed her in the head with a butter knife, jumped his fence, and ran back inside his house,” said Harrison.
The Williamsburg Small Animal Hospital wrote in a Facebook post that the puppy named Stormy is “now happily home with her family.”
A GoFundMe has been set up to help her family pay the vet bill and get her pup back. She said the bill continues to grow every day.
