MARTINSBURG, W.Va. A West Virginia man has been charged with killing his family's dog with two pickaxes.
Police say the dog's name -- Felony -- reminded him he had recently been charged with a felony.
Twenty-two-year-old Kenneth James Watkins of Gerrardstown -- near the Virginia line -- was charged yesterday with a felony count of animal cruelty for killing the 11-year-old black and white border collie on Tuesday.
Berkeley County Deputy Terry Shetley says Watkins told his family and a neighbor what he had done. An aunt kicked Watkins out of the house and called police. Watkins' brother showed deputies a sign over the dog's fresh grave in the yard that said ... quote ... "Don't Kill No More Dogs."
