A quiet Alabama town has been shaken to its core after authorities say a man deliberately cooked his own pet chihuahua alive inside a heated oven.
James Williamson, 44, of Atmore, close to the Florida border, committed one of the most horrific acts of animal cruelty all because the tiny dog wouldn't stop barking.
He is now facing a felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty after police say he followed through on a threat he made to his dog.
The gruesome incident occurred last Monday when Williamson got into an argument with a family member.
It was during this heated exchange he allegedly threatened to shove the puppy into the oven if it didn't stop barking.
