Channel 2's Rachel Stockman spoke to 49-year-old Benjamin Hafer at his home. He told her Gwinnett police are wrong about the allegations, and that he didn’t mean to hurt his black pit bull, Bruno.
At some point, Hafer said he disposed Bruno’s body in a lake behind his house, calling his actions part of a religious ritual.
“We give up bodies of humans, as well as animals, back to nature,” Hafer said.
On Monday night, Stockman saw several animals inside of Hafer's home. He said he's rescued many dogs that were abandoned.
Stockman said animal control had previously heard allegations about Hafer's misconduct toward dogs, but "There was no arrest or report generated" according to Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Ed Ritter.
“I would never execute a dog. I would never torture a dog,” Hafer said.
Hafer insists that he loved Bruno.
"I'm saying that I would give up my life for that dog. I have a house full of dogs," Hafer said.
