René, a 71-year-old man, who had killed the dog he had just received for adoption at the end of January, was placed under observation for an additional 40 days by the justice of the peace, reports our colleagues from Sudinfo.
It was a beautiful story that turned into a tragedy. The septuagenarian who lives in a residence had launched an appeal on Facebook to adopt a new companion, following the death of his dog.
Touched, a couple from Colfontaine had decided to offer him Pantoufle, his Maltese bichon of almost four years. The same evening, the pensioner had cut the animal’s throat with a knife that was unable to stop its barking. Pantoufle might not be saved.
