BOZEMAN — A southwestern Montana man has been ordered to stay away from his dog after being charged with animal cruelty.

Court records say 22-year-old Roy White of Whitehall was cited Tuesday for punching his dog outside a cafe west of Bozeman. On Monday, he had been cited for leaving the dog in a hot car.

A witness reported seeing White punch the dog. White told investigators he swatted the dog with a piece of paper after it urinated on a sleeping bag in his pickup truck.

Responding officers said the dog was limping and appeared to be afraid of White. It was taken to the Bozeman animal shelter.

White pleaded not guilty on Wednesday. The judge ordered him to have no contact with the dog while the case is pending.

1. I sure hope this poor fella gets a second chance... I don't know if he can be adopted until the case

over. Poor fella..

4. You mean the dog, not the human.

That 22 year old sounds like a mean SOB who has been a jerk all his life. Why do I think he’s a Trumpian?

8. I can vouch that that particular animal shelter is one of the best in the state.

I got my dog from them and he had been abused. They took their time (months) and worked with him and was very specific on what kind of home he could/would go too. I have full faith that they will take care of him for a rehoming that will be a perfect match for the dog first and then the human.

Our judges tend to be kind toward animals that have been abused.

2. Lock him up -- for good! The skeptic in me doesn't believe this type of human can be

rehabilitated.

5. And animal abuse

Is frequently a precursor to human abuse.

3. Nor should this man ever sire a child.

If he did this to a dog, think of what he would do to a baby. I shudder at the thought because babies cry.

6. this asshole should be punched

And left in a hot car for the same amount of time.

7. This scum of the Earth should never be allowed to own any animals or pets again.

I hope the judge gives this beaten dog a new life with a kind and loving new owner.
