Ryan Watenpaugh, a 34-year-old California man, was arrested and accused of a heinous act of retribution against an estranged former girlfriend. Watenpaugh allegedly killed and cooked his ex-girlfriend’sdog, served it to her under a ruse that it was beef, then rubbed it in her face with a deplorable text asking her how her missing pet tasted.
Writes the Huffington Post: “Ryan Eddy Watenpaugh denied roasting the missing Pomeranian when police arrested him on Thursday. The Palo Cedro man did, however, admit that he left the dog's severed paws on his former girlfriend's doorstep, authorities said. The victim told police that she fled Watenpaugh after an Aug. 4 fight in which he allegedly assaulted her. When she returned, the suspect and her dog, named Bear, were gone.”
The Shasta County man (mug shot seen here) was booked into jail in lieu of $250,000 bond. He was charged with domestic violence, false imprisonment, stalking and animal cruelty. When investigators searched his home, they also turned over an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition.
Says the Sacramento Bee:
According to a written statement by Redding police, a woman reported on Tuesday that she was being stalked by Watenpaugh, whom she had dated for several months. She said he had physically attacked her numerous times, causing bruises and minor cuts, and had held her captive twice.
After the pair broke up in early August, they reconciled, despite the fact that Watenpaugh was physically abusive to his unnamed girlfriend. Last week, he cooked her a meal, then reportedly sent her a text message that said: “How does your dog taste?” Additional morbid texts came from Watenpaugh, telling the woman what he planned to do with other parts of the dog’s remains.
The woman told police that on Sept. 9, at about 1 a.m., she heard a vehicle pull into her driveway. She said she looked out and saw Watenpaugh leave a small paper bag at her doorstep. Inside were her Pomeranian's two front paws.
"It set all of us back when we actually read the text messages about the incident," Sgt Todd Cogle said. "You can really get the sense from reviewing the text messages that the relationship was extremely toxic. It was a pressure cooker of anger and resentment."
Watenpaugh admits to placing the bag of paws on her porch, but denies having cooked her dog. Additional charges are expected, including a weapons violation charge for the AK-47

Given how he looks, what's his girlfriend look like?
10-1 he's the pretty one.
BTW, my first thought was "He killed the wrong bitch" then realized that was completely inappropriate. Especially since I Hate animal abuse of any kind or domestic violence.
But somehow this tasteless comment popped in my head. Is it Satan?
rcocean, We all have bad thoughts and it's healthy to express them. Trooper is our Zen master in that area.
Cartman comes to life!
For you non South Park fans, Cartman, the fat annoying kid, killed a "friend's" parents, ground them up and made chili out of their meat.
Which he fed to his "friend!"
I thought this story was BS, until I read here that the boy friend admitted to leaving the dogs paws on the porch.
If you admit to that but say you would not cook the little guy…how do you explain that?
"killed a "friend's" parents"
Was that Butters? That poor guy was always getting the short end of the stick.
I remember he "took one for team" at a NAMBLA convention.
The episode in question is "Scott Tenorman Must Die" in which the older kid is always outsmarting Cartman, always one step ahead of him.
Until...
