A Texas man allegedly brutally killed his wife’s dog, claiming she loved it more than him, according to police.
Pengfei Ji, 31, allegedly inflicted severe injuries on his wife’s small Pomeranian Lulu during an argument at their home on Friday night (28), according to the Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office.
Ji allegedly grabbed the dog by its hind legs and threw it over his shoulder into a doghouse several times before leaving its body in the yard, reported a Click2Houston news article that cited surveillance camera footage.
The man accused his wife of loving the dog more than him, according to ABC13. The couple then took the injured dog to the vet, where it was declared dead. The vet then called local authorities to report the incident.
Ji was subsequently arrested and charged with third-degree animal cruelty. He may also face charges of tampering with evidence due to allegations that he deleted the incriminating surveillance footage from his wife’s phone after it was viewed by police, according to ABC13.
The officer who initially viewed the video noted in his report that he wished to never see the heinous footage again, the media outlet reported. “It leaves me speechless,” said officer Chad Norvell about the disturbing images.
“I am glad we were able to get him into jail and that he will face justice for his horrific actions. My condolences go out to his wife for the loss of her precious companion,” Norvell added.
