FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A judge has ordered a Fort Bragg soldier to keep a picture of the puppy that he drowned in his wallet while he's on probation, along with other punishments.
Multiple media outlets report Spc. John Garrett Burrow, 24, was ordered Tuesday to keep a photo of 8-month-old Riley, a Lab mix that drowned in November 2014. Burrow had pleaded guilty to felony animal cruelty for tying Riley's feet to his snout with military parachute cord and tossing the dog into a pond.
Superior Court Judge Jim Ammons sentenced Burrow to 30 days in jail and 100 hours of community service. He must carry Riley's photo in his wallet for two years, WTVD reported.
Burrow apologized in court, saying he has no excuse for killing Riley. A charge of accessory after the fact is pending against his wife, Kelsey.
"I'm sorry," Burrow said, according to a report in the Fayetteville Observer. "So very sorry, and sorry to Riley. I did love Riley. I did love that dog. I have no excuse."

That is interesting SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL that a judge has ordered Fort Bragg soldier Spc. John Garrett Burrow to keep keep a photo of the puppy he drowned in his wallet.
Okay I'll bite - cruelty to animals is more heinous to many that induced abortion for many in this nation. I don't advocate cruelty to animals but I am much more interested in cruelty to humans - born aand yet-to-be born.
This nation has legal debates about whether abortionists should be able to drive a sharp implement into a third-trimester human-baby and suck out their brains before extracting them. Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have supported that process being legal as Senators and made no statements indicating they have changed their mind since.
