  • Yes, sometimes animals are involved in domestic violent. If the abusive offender is angry enough they will take that anger out on the wife, children and can well kick or beat the family dog. In a few cases reported a dog (of any size) may come to the aid of those being abused and attack the abuser; the abuser may beat the dog severely or kill the dog. There are other single men or even some women that are not married and are dating and if angered by a bad relationship they can take their frustrations out on their pet.
  • Added: Everything the first contributor has stated is true. HOWEVER - someone can NOT be charged with Domestic Violence simply for beating a family pet. They can be charged with animal abuse or some such other applicable statute, but (in the US) animals are not protected under the domestic violence laws.
