This is one of those cases where I agree, the animal should have been put down and the owner tied up in a sack and drowned. Now granted with a larger dog I feel you lay down the law on the spot, but a little dog like you keep pampered and spoiled like a lap cat. There is no excuse for any animal to have that happen.
