This isn’t going to do the state’s reputation any favors.
According to Gawker, 47-year-old Jonnie Boggess was arrested and charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty Wednesday after admitting to having “gentle sexual intercourse” with his pet beagle Piglet over the summer.
Boggess told authorities he thought it was OK to take his dog to pound town because it was “more than 40 pounds and also because Piglet has been spayed.” He also made sure to pet the dog when he was finished and “told Piglet he loved her.”
Boggess admitted that he had been drinking before deciding to go all the way with his beagle, but let’s be honest: that doesn’t make it any better. Piglet has since been removed from the Boggess household, but a neighbor told a local television station that this wasn’t the first time Boggess had plowed something other than a human being.
“He has done this before, with animals before, and it’s no shock,” the neighbor said.
Boggess apparently has a girlfriend, and he told police that she heard Piglet yelping but “he wasn’t hurting the dog.” No word on how pissed the girlfriend is that Boggess chose the beagle over her.
