Ryan Ross pleads guilty to stabbing his girlfriend’s dog 17 times, killing it for tearing up a Christmas present

Ryan Ross must be a really tough guy. The 22-year-old is so tough that somehow he thought that an appropriate punishment for a 1-year-old boxer tearing open a Christmas present was stabbing the dog 17 times and slitting its throat.

Ross pleaded guilty Friday to felony animal-abuse charges, according to NBC Action News. He’d been indicted in January, accused of animal abuse, torture and mutilation of the dog, which belonged to his girlfriend at the time. (If she has any sense, she’s no longer with this turd.)
