DALLAS A Dallas-area man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for beating and drowning his pit bull after the dog allegedly chewed some patio furniture.
Robert Prichard of Mesquite was sentenced Friday over the 2013 death of his dog named Candy. A Dallas County jury on Wednesday convicted Prichard of animal cruelty with a deadly weapon.
Investigators say Prichard beat his pet with a shovel and threw the dog into his backyard swimming pool.
Prichard, who sought probation, told investigators he was protecting himself after the dog bit him.
