A man in Newnan, Georgia, is accused of a callous act of cruelty which led to the death of his dog. According to multiple sources, 70-year-old Jon Schuck went into a coffee shop on Tuesday morning, leaving his dog tied up outside in the heat.

The allegations

Good Samaritans reached out to the authorities to report that a dog was in distress and struggling in the heat. An animal control officer had been dispatched to investigate when the police were informed that the dog had died, reported Fox 5 Atlanta News.

As reported by CBS 46 News, before the dog died, concerned individuals had confronted Schuck about his distressed dog; he allegedly went outside and placed a newspaper over the dog’s head and went back inside to finish his beverage.

Apparently the accused man had treated his dog poorly in the past – CBS News has reported that the police report noted that Schuck “had been warned numerous times about leaving his dog tied up on a leash in the heat.”

The dog’s body has been sent out for a necropsy – Schuck was transported to the Coweta County Jail and then released on bond.

  1. POS should never have had a dog to begin with. His lack of caring or compassion for the dog’s suffering says all I need to know about this POS! I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. May he spend the rest of his days having his coffee in the slammer!

  2. Leave him outside in the heat the way he left his poor dog.Animal never had a chance at a decent life with a scum like this. Hope he goes to jail and meets Bubba.

  3. This nasty excuse for a human being needs a very close encounter with the harshest aspect of the justice system – from the inside sans the luxuries but DO tell every inmate why he is there.
