Pair accused of stealing and eating pet dog

Two former golf club employees are charged with theft and cruelty to animals in the death of a pet dog the owners say was cooked and eaten. An Oahu grand jury indicted Saturnino Palting, 58, and Nelson Domingo, 43, both of Kalihi, Honolulu.

They were accused of stealing a dog owned by Frank Manuma who lost his 8-month-old German shepherd-Labrador mix named Caddy.



Manuma had taken Caddy to the Moanalua Golf Club with him on Dec. 16 and left the dog tied up at an equipment shack when he disappeared. Manuma said police told him the two men slaughtered and ate the pet belonging to him and his wife, Debbie Weil-Manuma.

The charges are both felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
