Michael Wayne Johnson, 48, was arrested in October after witnesses saw him "lift dog off the ground by placing both hands around the dog’s neck and choking the animal. They then saw Johnson repeatedly punch the dog in the face."
“It is critical that people who observe neglect or intentional abuse against animals report what they see, otherwise, animals have no voice,” Assistant District Attorney Jessica Milligan said. “We are grateful for the witnesses who reported the violence against this dog, as they likely saved his life.”
