A Rochester man is accused of killing his girlfriend's dog. Animal cruelty investigators say Jerry Presha got into a heated argument with his girlfriend and said she loved her five-year-old pit bull terrier more than he did. Presha then allegedly cut the dog's throat and stabbed its shoulder. The animal had to be put to sleep.

Jim Tedford of Lollypop Farm said "Had the dog not been there then perhaps the girlfriend would have ended up being the victim. What we want the community to realize is these crimes must be taken seriously so that we can avoid those things exacerbating. This fella's next victim, might very well be a person so he needs to be stopped now before it's too late."

Presha is facing a felony charge.
