In Tavares, located in the Sertão region of Paraíba, Brazil, a 72-year-old man was arrested on Friday, accused of killing his own 11-year-old dog, Leão, by hitting it with an iron bar. The incident reportedly took place the week before the man's arrest, but neighbors delayed reporting it due to threats made by the suspect.
