Twenty-six year old Patrick McPhail of Spanaway, Washington was caught on their back porch while "giving the dog a bone" Wednesday night.
Mrs McPhail took some snapshots with her trusty cell-phone of the zoosexual encounter between her husband and their 4 year old pitbull, then called the sheriffs department.
Patrick is the first person to be charged under the new Washington beastiality law, and has been charged with felony animal cruelty.
These kinds of charges always intrigue me. How on earth does a person get charged with animal cruelty, whe the alleged victim cannot testify that the act was in itsef cruel. It seems to me a mature pitbull is more than equipped to "refuse" sex with a person, should the dog feel he/she is not being "pleased".
On the other hand, I wonder what prompted Mr. McPhail to choose his loving dog over his wife for his Wednesday back porch liason with Fido the pitbull.
I guess Mrs. McPhail might have been a little jealous of the sceen; the dog was taken by animal control.
Anyway, Patrick was released on $20K bail and now awaits his precident setting trial. Be sure Washington is going to make an example of this dog lover. Sometimes it doesn't pay to love your dog.
For the record, beastiality, like homosexuality, does not reside as a pathology on the American Psychiatric list of mental disorders.
