24-year-old man buries his ex-girlfriend's 18-year-old dog alive just because it didn't get along with his new kitten
24-year-old RIchard Piquard buried Chico, a Shih Tzu that had been in the family for decades, alive because he got a new kitten
A Massachusetts man was arrested on charges of animal cruelty after it was discovered that he had buried an 18-year-old dog alive after it did not get along with his new kitten. Twenty-four-year-old Richard Piquard, a resident of Whitinsville, buried the Shih Tzu named Chico behind his home and then apparently bragged about it to a friend.
Piquard had reportedly been the caretaker of the dog for 18 months after his former girlfriend could no longer take care of it in her apartment. But at 6 am on Sunday, he sent her pictures of his new kitten to a mutual friend, Kaylee Belanger, and explained he had to get rid of the dog, revealing he had buried Chico behind his house.
