This winner here, my friends, 25-year-old Gabriel Fox of Eau Claire, WI thinks the right way to train a dog is to throw it into a wall. Real brainiac!!
A woman took a dog with a broken leg to the vet but refused to admit how its leg had gotten injured. Eventually police found out the she brought the dog in for Fox who admitted for throwing the dog against the wall. And his reason for such a cruel act? The dog was a submissive urinator, it would urinate when it was happy.
Bet the dog was also scared and had probably been yelled and screamed at too as well as who knows what. Some people should not have dogs or pets and I wonder if he has children too?
The dog was surrendered and Fox got the usual slap on the wrist, a measly $200 fine. Wow, bet that’s really gonna deter him.
Sometimes I’m not sure which makes me more sick, the abusers or the judicial system who lets them get away with their crimes!
What a low life sob! God I hope he has no children, and should be neutered on the spot. And as far as women in his life – stay the hell away!
I cannot even think of what to say about this low life. I also do not know if I should be more upset with our judicial system – a $200.00 fine? What about the life of that little one, who will suffer the rest of its life from this horrific act of stupidity from this jerk.
What the hell is wrong with people in this world?????
What a complete arse! I hope he rots in hell, which he will, because he certainly did not have to suffer as this little lovebug did! Another…’You can’t fix stupid..you have to shoot it’. Damn! What a prick! That poor pup was probably piddling out of fear. That’s what it sounds like to me. I hope she finds a beautiful furever home where she doesn’t have to feel that fear anymore.
As much as I dispise this moron , at least he had the guts to admit his mistake .Can you imagine your dog so happy to see you he urinates , cleans up in 10 seconds .This poor pup will get a better life
Whether this little pup was happy or not, there isn’t any excuse in the world for what this POS did. Let’s throw him up against the wall and see his reaction. Maybe it will break his spine. He could have killed that poor baby. And our judicial systems leave a lot to be desired. I think all judges need to be required to have animals and children, then maybe they will think of it happening to the ones they love.
Moe, this one really POed me because it is where I live. Sad to know this is how abusers are treated here…. sad to see how little the judicial system cares about the innocent!
D.
Just because an animal has a peeing problem, is no reason to throw it. What does that teach it?? Nothing. This person should be banned from ever having another pet. And if IT has kids, they should be watched for abuse. The system lets these people off too easy, and they just do it again.
You pepole don’t know what u are talking about. I didn’t admit anything. The cop that came to my house said that I said that. When I didn’t. He was just looking to bust someone for something. The City of Eau Claire likes to charge innocent people for things they didn’t do. Just so you know I got alot more than a $200 fine.
Gabriel, why did it take you so long to come forward to “correct” any and all news reports and to say that the police are not telling the truth? Why don’t you clarify what happend to that little fur baby for all of us to read? A little dog just does not get a broken leg out of nowhere. This little one was injured, and I think we deserve the truth about the injuries. This little one is going to suffer the rest of its life from broken bones. I don’t think the police would have charged you unless they had enough evidence to convict you of such a hateful crime. Ever hear of proponderance of evidence? Be a man and enlighten us. I am sure we would all love to hear this story you believe is the truth. And please let us know what fines and penalties you did receive. Maybe we can write the judicial system and congratulate them for a job well done.
It took this long because I just stumbled upon this web site. I am more than willing to tell you what happened. And it would be greatly appreciated if you would not try to make me feel any worse than what I already do. My dog’s name was Ben. I loved him and he loved me. I took him every where I went and he never left my side. He was my baby. He had a peeing problem but i was very patient with him and it was something we were working on. Ben was on mine and my wife’s bed one day. When he had an accident on the bed I pushed him off the bed onto the floor. A normal thing for me to do. When he started crying and limping, my wife and I decided that we would take him in if he hadn’t improved in a day or so. The next day my wife’s EX-mother-in-law came to visit the kids and noticed Ben was limping. We explained what had happened and she OFFERED to take him to the Vet and said we could pay her back when I got paid. The next thing we know we have police knocking on the door arresting me. It was an accident and everyone should have to pay for their accidents but it was not a violent act nor was it done out of hate or anger. Ben did not hit the wall. I’m sure everyone knows how the media can misconstrue truths and facts. The fact here is that I loved Ben and wouldn’t have ever purposely hurt him. In the meantime, my children lost their puppy and our family cat as well as my wife had to surrender her dog. Never mind the fact that we had to move because of the threatening letters and fear for my family. I would also like to say that because I didn’t have the money to pay for a decent lawyer, I was coerced into taking jail time and probation. As a part of this I have to pay for court costs, attorney fees as well as Ben’s surgery. If only I would have taken him in myself I would only have to pay for his surgery and I’d still have my dog as well as the rest of the family pets. So if you feel the need to write the judicial system maybe you should write about the fact that accidents happen even when you’re poor!
Gabriel, if what you’re saying is true, what about a public defender. They don’t cost and everyone is entitled to one. If your wife was a witness, she could have testified on your behalf. You should have contacted the media immediately and refuted the story and told your side, someone would have listened.
Yes, the media can be slanted and has it’s own agenda. I admit that I have mine here and it’s for the advocacy of the animals, specifically our canine companions. I give little to no leeway to abusers but if they come on here I am will to listen to the other side of the story.
While your story does sound entirely plausible, pushing a pet off the bed is not a crime and something I am sure many of us have done on occasion, it is sad that he was hurt and that it led where it did.
Honestly, I feel bad for your situation, as I said, if your story is true. I do feel there are things you could have done but do understand that if you have never been caught up in something like that it can be overwhelming.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I wish you the best.

Gabriel, Yes, what D had said about being caught up in a situation that is overwhelming is true, but the facts are that you pushed a dog off a bed. There are some dogs who have “happy” urination problems, but then if the dog was continuously doing this, did you ever think that there could have been a medical condition that was prompting this problem? The answer is not pushing a dog off a bed. Sorry I don’t buy that. There are other ways to deal with urination problems, like cutting back the liquid intake, and not giving water after a certain hour, and taking the dog out to pee, and praising the dog when it does its business outside.
Your actions are that of a violent temper, and you say you have children? What happens when one of the children have an accident, be it urination, vomiting or whatever? Do you push them off the bed also? I am sorry for you because you feel what you are telling us is justifiable, when in fact it is not. It is a terrible loss that your children lost their dog, and that your wife had to give up her dog also, but honestly, you do not deserve to have an animal or raise children.
Yes, accidents do happen, but this was not an accident. You pushed the dog off intentionally, and no matter what breed or size this dog was, you can injure any animal if they get pushed at all and fall. Their bone structure is not as strong as a human bone structure.
And you know what, this b/s that you are poor, well what the hell are you doing with dogs and children if you are poor? Vetting one dog can cost up to a thousand dollars a year, and you had two dogs? Children are not cheap to raise properly either. They need food, clothing, school supplies, etc., so if you are that poor, you should not have animals, because you are not financially capable of caring for them.
Sorry, but I don’t buy this sympathy crap. This was not an accident but intentional. All 3 of my dogs have urinated on the bed when they were young, and you know what, I promptly took them outside and told them that is where they potty, and proceeded to come in and change the sheets, and giggle about it with my husband. And furthermore, urination is an easy clean up with some bleach and some paper towels.
I think you need some serious help Gabriel. Did you ever think of furthering your education, both you and your wife, to gain better employment, so you can live the lifestyle you would want with animals and children? You should take stock of your life and what you have done, and your future. This arrest will live with you for the rest of your life, and I sincerely doubt that you will ever be able to adopt any type of animal ever again.
