An Acworth man was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to slamming a small dog's head on the floor and later beating the animal to death in a fit of rage because she urinated inside his home.
A judge sentenced Sidney Taylor, 23, of Acworth, on animal cruelty charges after he reportedly beat Lilly, a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, last April, Channel 2 Action News reported Wednesday.
No charges were filed until a necropsy, also known as an autopsy, was performed on the dog at the University of Georgia, Cobb County police said.
