THE COLONY, Texas -- A Texas man has been arrested after police say he taped the muzzle of his brother's dog shut and the dog died.

The one-year-old black Labrador retriever, named Bull, was euthanized after suffering from heat stroke.

Police say Richard Swift of The Colony, near Dallas, taped the dog's muzzle shut last week to stop him from barking so he could sleep.

Swift was arrested two days later on a felony animal cruelty charge. He's free on bond. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

2. I hope someone tapes him up and leaves him out in the Texas sun

3. Bastard!!!

It's not the dog's fault. I suggest a punishment for the brother, too. It's obvious he knows nothing about being a responsible dog owner.

4. this

brings out the very worst instincts in jukes; & that's a very bad thing.

2 hrs, that's all i ask.

i wdnt tape his mouth. hvt duty cable ties on both wrists, as tight as i can tug them. 2 hrs later, drop him @ ER for the necessary amputations.
