OTTAWA - A Cornwall, Ont., man has been found guilty of attacking a dog.
Stepha Franklin, 23, was convicted of animal cruelty charges after court heard he repeatedly punched a dog in a car parked at an Ottawa mall back in February.
Mercedes, a boxer-shepherd that belonged to the man's then-girlfriend, had been snacking on Caribbean food left in the car.
Testimony from an eyewitness and the man's ex-girlfriend were heard by the judge.
Franklin has previous convictions for assault -- one involving his ex and another involving a man, which he's currently serving time for.
He is to be sentenced on Friday.
