Man Accused Of Eating His Dog Alive

"Look at that ear. Do you see that? I mean, it is chewed to smithereens," says Shelby County Texas District Attorney Linda Kay Russell. Russell is reacting to graphic pictures showing a pit bull puppy who was eaten alive by his owner.

Now, Russell is preparing to prosecute the strangest animal cruelty case she has ever handled.

"This is actually called torture to an animal, and that is why we are doing it," says Russell.

Forty-nine year old Reggie Paul Fountain stands accused of eating his dog alive.

"He chewed that and ate it, he had blood all over his face, he had blood on his chest, he was in his underwear walking down the street talking to himself and the dog," says Russell.

Veterinarian Robert Hughes says the pit bull puppy looked like it had been in a dog fight when it arrived at his clinic.

"We anesthetized the dog and we surgically evened out the edges. We did something similar to an ear crop," says Doctor Hughes.

"His excuse, which I don't care what his excuse was, was that he was on PCP and cocaine," says Russell.

Russell says four police officers had to restrain the man so that they could remove the dog from his hands. She says she will now prosecute the case to the fullest, and leave the penalty in the hands of a jury.

"I will not offer this man probation. I will take it to a jury trial and if the citizens of Shelby County want to give him probation they can, but I will not offer that," says Russell.

That's sick. I hope they through the book at him. Maybe they should have someone bite his ear off.

I cannot believe that happened! I don't give a sh*@ what kind of drugs that guy was on....He should be strung up by his heels.

That is absolutely disgusting, and there is NO excuse for it!

That is the most digusting thing I have ever heard! I hope that man gets what he deserves

bchgirl · 04-20-2006, 08:48 AM

Why do people think a perfectly acceptable excuse to whatever disgusting behavior is....I was on drugs

Hmmm, perhaps that should be in a PSA...do cocaine eat a dog

Along the lines of WTH is wrong with these people.....
We have a case here where the mother and grandmother starved and beat an infant. Between starvation and beatings the child died

Now apparently the baby had stopped eating the meagar meals they did give her. The detectives asked the grandmother..."didn't you think something was wrong?" She told them..."no, I thought she was being stubborn". The baby was 2 months old

they should lock him in a room butt naked with the meanest, nastiest 140lb dog they can find and let the dog eat him for about an hour or two and see how he likes it.... there are some sick people in this world....
