A California dog trainer who built a business around caring for people's pets has been convicted of killing 11 dogs and attempting to conceal evidence by cremating their remains, in a case prosecutors described as one of the most disturbing instances of animal abuse they have encountered.
Kwong 'Tony' Chun Sit, owner of Happy K9 Academy in Irvine, was found guilty of 11 felony counts of animal cruelty along with multiple misdemeanour charges linked to destroying and attempting to destroy evidence. The convictions expose what investigators say was a months-long pattern of abuse that only came to light after a grieving owner questioned how his dog had died.
