(Newport, OR) -- A Lincoln County judge sentenced a man to a year-and-a-half in prison for fatally shooting a dog. 47-year-old Tyson Kay claimed the black Labrador retriever named Daisy was going after chicks on his property. Prosecutors presented evidence that Daisy was not a threat and that Kay loaded a shotgun with birdshot in anticipation of shooting the dog. Kay has 15 prior convictions. The judge said his careless act could have been the result of little consequences over the course of his 30-year behavior.
