LAUDERHILL, Fla. — A Lauderhill man is facing an aggravated animal cruelty charge after police said he subjected a woman’s dog to repeated “blunt force trauma” and tried to blame the abuse injuries on a computer monitor mishap.
Authorities said the dog’s owner left him in the care of Gongtao Sun, 37, on April 18 while she worked. The two appeared to have been living together with the dog at an apartment in the 5500 block of North University Drive.
According to an arrest report from the Lauderhill Police Department, the woman was working that afternoon but had a video feed of her dog, named Chepe, in his crate. Detectives said the camera fell over and Sun sent the woman a photo of Chepe, in which he “looked normal,” and fixed the camera, but it “fell over again.”…
