Apparently Lucas the dog had been chewing on some wire fencing around the property and that pissed off Chris Barnett.  It is a really sad story of animal cruelty and the even sadder part is that if Mr. Barnett is convicted he will only serve 2 years in prison and receive a $3,000 fine.  Lucas the dog has become known world wide because of the incident and I highly doubt that you would find someone who is on the owner of the dog’s side. 

It is not clear whether Lucas the dog is still with Chris Barnett, but one thing is for sure the case has been bound over to a grand jury.  We will continue to follow this story and provide any breaking news updates.
