A Texas jury convicted a San Antonio man who slashed his dog with a machete after it chewed up his limited-edition "Call of Duty" videogame headphones.
The San Antonio Express-News reported that Juan Mendiola was found guilty of animal cruelty Thursday. He could face up to 10 years in prison or probation.
Mendiola was arrested in January 2013 after his 55-pound dog named Tiger died. He was cut twice in the neck and once in the chest.
A defense attorney argued that Mendiola thought the machete was sheathed and he only meant to slap the dog.
