Anthony Lisboa, 28, of Troy admitted to kicking 6-month old Princess, a Labrador terrier mix and throwing it out his first floor window onto the sidewalk.

Lisboa was the first person to be sentenced to jail under the state's new animal cruelty law. Buster's Law stiffens the penalties for animal abuse. It was passed last year and was named after a family cat that died in Schenectady after being burned by a teenager in 1997. The new law carries a sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine up to $5,000.

Lisboa was sentenced to one year in jail under the state's Buster Law. He must also pay $400 in veterinary bills for surgery to heal the puppy's broken leg, part of which had to be removed.

The dog is recovering with its new owner.
