I am sure it was an accident. He accidently took the dog out of his crate. He accidently put his hands around the dogs neck and accidently choked the life out of him. Oh, and he accidently told his exgirlfriend that he strangled the dog. And I am sure that he accidently choked his girlfriend three weeks before that! Yep, sounds like an ACCIDENT to me...He is a non-meat eating killer of defenseless puppies...what a great guy!! I wouldn't let him near my daughter or my pets!
