Man arrested after allegedly killing girlfriend’s dog

Police have arrested a 29-year-old man after his girlfriend’s dog was found dead.

According to the Providence Journal, Devon Hernandez, of Providence, was charged Thursday with malicious injury to or killing of animals after his girlfriend’s dog was located deceased in a shopping bag.

The girlfriend has accused Hernandez after he was allegedly seen on surveillance video carrying a lifeless Davinci, a 1½-year-old male Pomeranian, out of the apartment. Police also observed the footage.

Hernandez reportedly picked up Davinci and threw him and then kicked him multiple times due to the dog urinating on the bed. Davinci was yelping during the attack and tried to hide under the kitchen table.

According to the report, Hernandez denied killing the dog saying that he ran off after being taken outside.
