A Massachusetts man was reportedly arrested on Sunday after he allegedly buried an 18-year-old dog alive because it didn't get along with his cat. Richard Piquard, 24, of Whitinsville, buried "Chico," a Shih Tzu dog, behind his home while he was still alive, Northbridge Police Chief Walter Warchol told the Telegram & Gazette. Piquard reportedly had the dog for 18 months after his former girlfriend could no longer keep him in her apartment. She claimed she found Chico buried alive in dirt and underneath a rock. "He yelped in pain, dirt in every part of him," Belanger wrote.
