Susan Mulvaney said she and her friend Vivian Muska witnessed a neighbor hitting his dog in the face four times. She called the authorities who dispatched a few police officers to the scene of the alleged abuse. When she felt like she was getting nowhere with the officers on the scene, Mulvaney took her concerns to the Hartford Station where the officer on desk duty took her information.
After explaining that she had witnessed her neighbor beating his dog, the police officer, whose badge number is 2181, told her that he, too, beats his own dog.
"I punch my own dog. Sometimes you have to discipline an animal," the officer said.
