Default Black Animal Abusers



DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- The DeKalb County Police Department has arrested a man accused of severely beating a puppy with a broken table leg.

Officers were called to a home on Canby Lane in Decatur Saturday afternoon. Authorities said they found a pitbull mix breed puppy, approximately 6- to 8-months-old unresponsive in the back yard of the house.

The puppy was taken to the DeKalb-Gwinnett Emergency Clinic, where x-rays concluded that it sustained massive head trauma. Due to the nature of the injuries, the dog was euthanized.

The Animal Cruelty Unity investigated and determined the puppy was hit with a broken table leg.

Lawrence Peterson, 58, was charged with one count of felony animal cruelty. Officials said Peterson was the roommate of the pet owner and officials believe he hit the puppy because it wouldn't stop barking.

The investigation continues.
