Seek the highest penalty for man who beat neighbor’s golden retriever with a hatchet.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL DOG
Ricky Lee Knowles lured his neighbor’s dog and proceeded to mercilessly beat him until neighbors called police. Knowles trapped Kona, the golden retriever, tied him to a pole, and beat him with a hatchet, causing brain damage and extensive fractures on his head. Knowles pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges but avoided a felony charge that would have indicated that this man is a vicious threat to the public.
