PEOPLE is not identifying either the suspect or the minor alleged victim, in order to protect her identity.
With the dog on the bed, the suspect “is seen pulling out a knife and pointing it at the dog while yelling ‘I will cut this [expletive] dog’s [expletive] eyeballs out, I will do it,'” while complaining about the dog “snapping” at him, according to the arrest warrant.

“I’m killing the dog!,” he shouts, as seen in the video, which has gone viral.
“Please, dad, no, you’re not! Dad, stop!,” yells the teen.
After the man tells the teen to “shut the [expletive] up,” she is seen “cowering in the corner” as the man walks away as if to leave the bedroom, before he turns to yell again at her and then allegedly head-butts her.
“The victim’s head can be heard bouncing off the wall behind her and she immediately begins crying,” according to the warrant.
The alleged victim reported the incident the next day, December 24, and on December 27 she provided the sheriff’s office with the videos. The man was arrested January 2 on a charge of cruelty toward a child/abuse of a child without great bodily harm, a felony, and misdemeanor animal cruelty.
The teen’s parents have been engaged in a lengthy child custody dispute after filing for divorce in 2005, reportsThe Destin Log.
The man has since posted a $4,000 bond on the two charges and is scheduled to address them in court on February 4, reports WEAR.
