This news gives new meaning to the golf term 'dogleg left'.

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.
