A golf course employee who killed a golfer’s dog and planned to eat it was sentenced yesterday to three months in prison for felony animal cruelty.

Nelson Domingo was also fined $500 and ordered to complete 400 hours of community service and three years of probation.
The sentence was imposed by Circuit Judge Randal Lee.
Domingo and co-defendant Saturnino Palting stole an 8-month-old puppy named Caddy, took it home and butchered it.
The dog had been left on a leash near an equipment shack at Moanalua Golf Course by its owner, who discovered the pet missing when he returned to retrieve it.
Lee sentenced Palting to 300 hours of community service and three years of probation.
