A Bucks County man is facing animal cruelty charges after shooting his dog more than 30 times with a pellet gun.
Police say that Paul Bevan-Xenelis, 39, shot his American bulldog 32 times with a 22-calliber pellet gun last week. Bevan-Xenelis told police he only shot “Kane” once.
According to police, they found Kane wounded and tied to a shed on the property of the Doylestown County Club.
