Long Island Man Throws Neighbor’s Dog Into Street for Pooping On His Lawn

He let his anger get the best of him and took it out on a neighbor’s defenseless dog.

That’s what happened in Franklin Square, New York on Saturday when Jaime Sanchez, 56, tossed his neighbor’s dog into the street after he witnessed the neighbor allowing her dog to go potty on his lawn.

Sanchez was painting the outside of his house when his 54-year-old neighbor Barbara Bottiglieri walked by with her Dachshund, Coco. Sanchez warned Bottiglieri, who lives across the street, not to let the dog do its business on his grass or he would sic his 50-pound mutt on them both.

“She’s constantly letting her dog defecate and urinate on our property,” said Sanchez’s wife, Antoinette, noting that there’s been a bitter feud between the neighbors for two years over parking on the street.

But when Bottiglieri threatened to call police, Sanchez walked up to the woman, snatched the leash and flung the pup 6 feet in the air – and 10 feet into the middle of the street.

The landing caused injuries to the dog’s tail and ruptured stitches on her belly from being spayed recently.

Antoinette Sanchez was home when her husband stormed inside and mentioned the canine clash.

“I grabbed the leash and I moved the dog off my property,” she recalled him telling her.
Cops soon arrived and cuffed Sanchez. He was charged with torturing animals and reckless endangerment to property.

“I’m horrified by it,” said a neighbor. “You’re not a man when you confront a woman and toss a dog into the air.”

Sanchez’s frustrated wife said Bottiglieri let the injured pup pee on her lawn just hours later.

“I can’t believe she had the audacity to do this,” she said.

I think court ordered anger management classes would be in order for the man that threw the dog, besides the vet bills, and dog etiquette education for the stupid pet owner that lets the dog go in other people’s yards. People can be such idiots, and innocent animals often pay the price.

I have come to the conclusion that people must like the stress they get, when fighting with neighbor’s over dog’s crapping on other people’s lawn’s. I myself have 2 lrg dog’s an 2 sm dog’s and I carry with me all the time doggie poo bag’s ! And if my dog’s that are alway’s on a leash while in town crap on some one’s lawn, I retrieve it in these doggie poo bag’s. Because it is the right thing to do! And people have to realize that Dog’s can’t say I have to go poo let’s go home. So us as the human’s have to think for our best friend’s. And these people that let there anger carry on for so long have to think instead of getting pissed off, and harming an innocent animal, Try and talk to the person that they are pissed at calmly and let them know that you would appreciate them picking up after there pet, And I am sure if they “won’t listen to reason” then go too your local bylaw officer or whom ever it is in your province or state,I am sure That they will look into it. And do something about it, Try and get proof like a photo with the date and time of offence or a video if you can.
Please don’t abuse the innocent it is not there fault. And if you do abuse them I hope you get what should be coming too you. These are my thought’s only.

So once again, due to human ignorance, a dog is put in harms way.

I don’t agree with the man who threw the poor animal. The dog did nothing wrong! The owner, on the other hand, had been warned, but decided to let the dog go on her neighbor’s lawn anyway. Getting the authorities to “look into it” is also a joke. They will tell her to keep the dog off her neighbor’s property. End of story. The problem here is the “stupid woman” who let her dog go on property that she had previously been warned about. It’s a shame it came to an innocent animal being hurt, but I blame the owner just as much as the neighbor.

No matter how mad Mr. Sanchez was, there is no need to torture a poor innocent dog like he did. He could have nicely asked the owner to stoop and scoop the next time she came by with her dog. I have dog poopy bags on hand, and I go out and offer them to dog owners that I notice walking by and not being responsible dog owners. I think Mr. Sanchez should be fined, and also the dog owner be givin a by-law warning notice.

I think the dog was an innocent victim of a feud, none of the humans come out of this with any credit whatsoever.

Okay folks, I keep seven dogs (yes I said 7 that’s NOT a typo) I walk them two at a time and clean up after them no matter where they go. After all it is MY responsibility as a dog owner to do so! I have had neighbors in the past who have harranged me for my dogs pooping on their lawn, I usually tell them to take a chill pill as i have cleaned up after my dog and there is no reason for them to be asses about it. However in the neighborhood I live in no one else seems to scoop their dog’s poop, so I end up cleaning up my own lawn after everyone elses dogs. Yes it pisses me off, but it is not the dog’s fault! The fact that this guy took his frustrations out on a tiny little dog who is not responsible for it’s owners actions tells me this guy must be abusive or mentally unbalanced because his response makes absolutely no sense and he should be charged and jailed, although in this case perhaps a mental assessment is necessary!

This is a ridiculous story. First of all, the dog owner never should have let her Dachsund poop on the other man’s lawn. However, that does not in any way justify the actions of the man. What he did was inhumane, and criminal, and he should serve some jail time. Do not punish the animal because the owner is being hard-headed. Both of these people need some counseling! The woman needs to have a little more respect for other people’s property, and the man need anger management, and to take a chill pill!

I have a neighbor who has a small black poodle type dog that he constantly let’s run free off the leash. This dog just goes anywhere and I don’t blame the dog,I blame the owner!! I would love to throw him in the air and let him land right in his own dogs feces! Ha! I have told him the townhome association requires owners to keep pets on leashes and clean up after them,but nothing works! My sister owns the townhome,I live with her,and I told her to call them,but so far hasn’t. So in the meantime I keep telling him and sometimes he picks it up,but when he doesn’t,I can tell,because I have Beagles and know the difference,I will take that poop when he’s gone and set it on his front porch,but nothing works!
So I can’t understand how it is the poor dogs fault,this guy needs to take some kind of classes to help with his anger before he really hurts someone. I can understand where he’s coming from,but come on a poor innocent dog?!

I don’t understand homeowners that get into such hissy fits about a dog pooping in their lawn (and i’m referring to where the dog owners immediately pick it up). It’s like they don’t want poop to touch their sacred grass for the 5 seconds it takes for me to bend down and pick it up. I have a neighbor that has about 5 signs on a tree over the tiniest patch of grass “WARNING: no animals on grass allowed.” I also don’t understand dog owners that don’t pick up poop, it should be second nature to just grab your bag and pick it up.
I think both people here are jackasses, I hope that poor pup recovers quickly.
