Woman looking for justice after dog killed

A north alabama man is out on bond tonight.

Arab police say he killed a woman's dog!

Waay31's sierra phillips met with that woman.

She described the horrifying scene she came home to last monday.

Burgett- "that night when i got home, and i couldn't find jax anywhere, i found a hole in my wall that was not there when i left, there was blood on the side of my bed it looked like footprints, and then there was blood on my panel."

Right now - jill burgett tells me she's still piecing together the gruesome - and what had to be, terrifying and painful last moments of her 3-year-old dog jax's life.

Burgett- "you could see that my baby was trapped, he had him trapped in my room, you could tell by the blood i mean there was blood everywhere."

Arab police arrested burgett's ex-boyfriend james whitley this week, a little more than a week after burgett says he beat her dog to death.

She says once whitley told her where to find the dog's body, her vet confirmed what happened.

Burgett- "his injuries go from one end of his body all the way to the other."

Now, she wants justice.
