Cute Puppy Drowned By Pilot For Barking Too Much


The world can be a cruel and vicious place. We’ve all been annoyed at some point or another by a neighbor’s constantly barking dog, but this UK pilot did the unthinkable and took matters into his own hands. Stealing the 10-year-old border terrier, drowning it and dumping it in a hedgerow, just because it would not stop barking, Stephen Woodhouse proved to be the definition of evil. Furthermore, he pretended that he had no idea where the dog went missing last year.

As reported by our friends at Telegraph, the devastated owners Alison and Alan Boddington only realized what had happened when Meg‘s fur and a rope was found in Woodhouse’s car. It was only then, that commercial airline pilot was forced to confess to his crimes. The story is heartbreaking as it is, but things get even darker, as the dog was kept by the family as a reminder of their late daughter.

I can’t believe I have caused a nice family so much suffering and grief,” Woodhouse said to the police, but it’s quite hard to imagine what he had expected to achieve through his actions.

At the end of the day, justice prevailed as Woodhouse was sentenced by the Corby Magistrates’ Court in UK to 12 weeks in prison, two year suspension and £2400 in costs, as well as £80 victim surcharge. However, the emotional trauma caused by the pilot could not heal as easily, even if there’s justice for the wrong doing.
