A 48-year-old man from Richmond Township, Macomb County, is facing charges after allegedly strangling his father's Labrador Retriever to death. The incident occurred on January 14, when deputies of the Macomb County Sheriff's Office were called to the home following reports of a dead pet and potential threats against a family member.
