I know a guy who did that. His woman suspected (knew) it was him cause she knew how much he hated the dog and had told her when she asked for a dog when they moved in to gather that he didn't care what she got as long as it barked not yapped. She got back at him by walking up to his best friend and making out with him, before the friend had a chance to push her off.
I don't miss the girl or that damn dog
