Police in New Hampshire say a man broke into a neighbor's home in a haphazard attempt to choke a barking Shih Tzu.
According to WCSH, Roger Pelletier broke into his neighbor's Portsmouth home on Friday to morning to quiet the dog. However, when the 50-year-old attempted to strangle little Oreo, the dog fought back, reportedly biting him several times.
Oreo survived the attack, and Pelletier was charged with simple assault, burglary, and cruelty to animals.
