Robert Joesph Heidt Killed a Dog Through Animal Abuse Port Orchard, Washington
Daniel Joseph Heidt, 25, of Port Orchard was sentenced to 45 days in jail for holding down and beating to death an elderly 13 year old dog. The dog, who was left in Heidt's care, had panted. This angered Heidt, who felt the dog's panting disturbed his sleep.
Witnesses said that he held down the dog and repeatedly beat it. The dog died. The veterinarian who examined the dog said that the dog had been hit so hard that it displaced her heart. Daniel Joesph Heidt was previously convicted of bank robbery in 2010 at age 23.
