Retiree to stand trial for killing a chihuahua 'after hitting it with a golf club like the animal was a ball on a tee'

Prosecutors say a Southern California retiree charged with using a golf club to kill a Chihuahua has been ordered to stand trial for one count of felony animal cruelty. A statement Wednesday said Witnesses told investigators 58-year-old to Larry Jaurequi hit the dog as if driving a golf ball off a tee, sending the 6-pound animal through the air on Jan. 26 in the Riverside County community of Menifee. The dog, named Lily, died of a lacerated liver and broken bones.
