Man Allegedly Kills Girlfriend's Dog and Fed it to Her

I personally found this (man bites dog) news item funny and yet cruel;

Police have arrested a California man after he allegedly cooked his girlfriend's dog and fed it to her for dinner.

Watenpaugh's girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend) told the police he repeatedly struck her whilst they were dating and after on assult, she left her apartment and returned to find her Pomeranian dog, affectionately called "Bear", missing.

Police say the couple briefly reconciled last week and Watenpaugh cooked the woman a meal and she ate it thinking it was like any other meal. But she told police he later texted her and asked how her dog had tasted. On Tuesday at around 1 a.m. she heard a truck pull up to her residence and she saw Watenpaugh walk to her house and place a mysterious object on her doorstep. When she went outside she saw two of the dog's paws outside the door.- Dailymail
