OKLAHOMA CITY -- A couple said they believe their son brutally killed the family's dog because he felt like he was being replaced.

Christopher Poston, 25, was arrested after police said he stabbed the family's 6-year-old Lab, Sammy, to death.

Christopher's mother, Susan Poston, said she was stunned over her son's actions, especially because she said Christopher rescued Sammy after finding him in a trash bag.

Susan said Sammy was a sweet and caring dog who loved everyone. She said they believe Christopher attacked the dog because he had become jealous and felt Sammy had replaced him.

Christopher's family said he has been arrested 18 times since turning 16. In 2003 and 2009 the family even sought protection orders against him. He was given a five year deferred sentence in 2009 for pointing a gun during a road rage incident. Now his parent said they want their son put in jail for good.

"This is psychotic. This is serial killer bad. Someone who can do this to an animal could very well do this to a person, and I don't think he should ever get out. I am sure he will, but I don't ever want to see him," Susan said.
