A man accused of torturing and killing a puppy in front of his 4-year-old daughter at their Redwood City home pleaded no contest to felony animal cruelty and misdemeanor child endangerment charges Friday, the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office said. For the next several weeks, prosecutors said, Velete punched and kicked at the pup, sprayed household cleaner in his eyes, taped his mouth shut and fed him his psychiatric drugs.
