SPCA: Black man slashed dog that disliked minorities
www.lohud.com


YONKERS — A black man who had grown tired of the
incessant barking of a dog that reportedly dislikes
minorities was arrested Monday night after he
slashed its face, police said.

The German shepherd lost an eye, and the suspect
— who worked for an oil delivery business where
the dog stood guard — was arrested on a felony a
ggravated cruelty charge. He also was charged with
fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a
misdemeanor.

Andrew Owens, 58, was arraigned Tuesday in City
Court after spending the night in jail. He admitted to
the crime, police said.

"The dog reacts to black people, Hispanics, anyone
who is not white," owner Paul Tocco said. "She
always barked at him. He (Owens) was well aware the
dog didn't like him, and he knew to stay away from
her."

A detective for the SPCA of Westchester said the
slashing was unprovoked. It took place around 7 p.
m. as the dog, a 4-year-old named Jenna, was
leashed outside Valley Oil at 707 Nepperhan Ave.

Owens, who worked there as a handyman, had
threatened to kill the dog in the past and told
authorities it had bitten him about a year ago. M
onday night, he "egged on" the barking dog and
charged at her, Detective Ken Ross III said. Owens is
alleged to have then brandished a 9-inch folding
knife.

Owens is accused of taunting the dog with his arm,
raising his arm with a knife and slashing the dog
 across the face, Ross said. The dog was cut "over
the right eye, all the way down to the socket bone,"
he said.

Tocco, whose family runs the business, said he
heard the dog barking, went outside and saw Owens
strike the dog.

"The dog let out a loud yelp, and when I ran there,
she turned her head toward me and I seen the whole
right side of her head bleeding," Tocco said.

Rather than going after Owens, Tocco placed Jenna
in a work van and drove her to a Greenburgh animal
hospital. A veterinarian performed emergency
surgery, but the eye couldn't be saved, Ross said.
The dog was transferred Tuesday to an animal
hospital in Scarsdale.

"The dog is supposedly in good spirits and is OK
now," Ross said. "But it did lose the eye."

The detective said he's uncertain why the action was
taken against the dog.

"He never liked the dog," Ross said of Owens. "The
dog did not bite him (Monday). It appears
everything was done out of anger."

Owens, who lives nearby, was arrested at his
apartment at 10:20 p.m.

Tocco said he would never allow Owens to work
there again. "We don't want him around here
anymore," he said.

After an initial report about the incident appeared
on The Journal News' Web site Tuesday afternoon,
Tocco said, he got bombarded by media calls, with
many reporters asking about his dog's attitude .

I live in Yonkers right now, right on the border of the Bronx, NY and see these freaking scumbags animals as part of my daily existence. 

I would volunteer for the firing squad myself with most of these vermin.

In fact, animals are far better and kinder than these savages.

This man should be rewarded. I saw on a news broadcast some time ago how neighbors in this white trailer trash area grew sick and tired of the pitbulls barking incessantly and called the police to complain. The cops essentially did nothing and even griped about people complaining about dogs and how they (cops) liked dogs. Some time later a call comes in addressing a child who was attacked in the very same neighborhood. The cops went out along with an ambulance to see what happened. By then the parents had taken the child to the hospital in their own car and lo and behold their was the pitbull still running around unchained through the "streets". Before the cop knew what was going on the damn dog nearly bit his hand off. Another cop at the scene shot the dog dead to the chagrin of the owner. I couldn't stop laughing as this white cops lay screaming on the ground with blood pouring out of his hand..or what was left of it. I guess his love of dogs left as he lost fingers.

While I am not a vehement hater of dogs ( I actually adore them when they are puppies), it is clear that people are putting more importance to a DOG than a person or community. I applaud the man for taking the action to have peace and quiet in his neighborhood. Silence Truly Is Golden....

This guy is a HERO

Wouldnt it have been more humane to just have killed the dog?

I'm sure the local cops are going mutiliate this guy.  Cops in Y.O. are brutal.

I wouldn't hurt the dog but animal control would have been forced to do something. All my neighbors have dogs but they're good owners and it's relatively quiet considering how many are in the area.

This guy was probably an ass but stuff like this doesn't typically just happen out of the blue. Animal lovers just loathe to admit that bad owners bear some of the blame for incidents like this.

Gee the guy was taunting the dog and it was barking at him...hmmmm. If it were my dog, i would have done the same thing...then told the cop I had no idea who did it. Then I would have found the guy and lit him on fire...fuck him......fuck that guy. People who are cruel to animals deserve everything they get. That includes teaching ur animal to be a visious dog.

That's exactly what it was. LOL
And if more people understood how many German shephards are trained, they'd understand why.
Racism is taught to these dogs, both the four legged and two legged variety.

Sucks for the dog but it's another example of pets paying for owner's sins.

  • Time to get Buck wild!
I live in a neighbour hood that is mainly colored and white, if a black walks around the dogs bark.
If I go to a majority black hood the dogs bark at me.
If I go to a majority colored hood the dogs bark at me.
If I go to an majority Indian hood the dogs bark at me.
When I was in Tanzania the dogs always barked at the Arabs and the Chinese

It is just the way it is.
It happens to every one who is NOT FROM THAT NEIGHBOURHOOD.
I also hate dogs that just bark on and on but trying to justify this on race is insane
