El Monte : Man Guilty of Beating Dog
An El Monte man has been found guilty in Rio Hondo Municipal Court of beating his Doberman pinscher after neighbors called police when they heard the dog howling in a yard on Aug. 6, 1985.
Anthony J. Love was convicted last week of cruelty to an animal, a misdemeanor. The dog, which Love had owned for four months, was tightly chained to a fence during the beating, according to Paula Van Orden of the Fund for Animals office in Pasadena.
Love is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 7. He faces a maximum term of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
