Alleged dog killer to stand trial for 13 counts of animal killing
-->Angry that his puppy, Dolce, defecated on his bedroom floor, graduate student Andrew David Thompson forced the dog’s nose in the feces and smacked it until it died, Ingham County Animal Control Deputy Jodi LeBombard said in court Thursday.
Dolce was one of 10 dogs Thompson allegedly killed in his Okemos apartment since about December 2011, LeBombard said in court.
Thompson faces 13 charges of animal killing in East Lansing and Meridian Township.
All the dogs were Italian greyhounds.
Testimony by LeBombard helped Judge Donald Allen decide to bind the case over to circuit court Thursday. Thompson will stand trial for the alleged killings.
Thompson killed another dog, a puppy named Bently, by throwing it against the wall after it urinated on his bed, LeBombard said in court.
In his frustration and anger, Thompson would punish his dogs and go too far — killing the dogs, graduate student Robert Albers said in court.
Albers considered himself Thompson’s friend.
The two were classmates in the College of Osteopathic Medicine and worked out together, Albers said.
The alleged killings turned into a “vicious cycle that (Thompson) just couldn’t get out of,” Albers said.
“He said it was almost a relief all this had happened, and it felt like a weight off his shoulders,” he said. “I believe he described himself as actually being happy about it.”
Thompson looked down and sat almost motionless during LeBombard and Albers’ testimonies.
Investigators could not locate any of the dogs’ dead bodies, but LeBombard found an injured dog in Thompson’s closet during a search of his apartment June 21.
The dog, Chloe, was bruised and defecated blood before it was taken to a vet, according to court documents.
Veterinary student Chelsea Grimes — Thompson’s former roommate from his condominium in East Lansing — previously testified that she suspected he was abusing his Italian greyhound puppies while he lived with her in October 2011.
She did not notify police or animal control because she was threatened by Thompson.
Thompson faces four years in jail and up to $20,000 in fines.
He also faces expulsion from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and could be barred from practicing medicine in Michigan, Dean William Strampel said.
Thompson was suspended from the College of Osteopathic Medicine June 23 because of the allegations.

My 9 week hold puppy is vomiting up yellow bile and will not eat ...
Ing and throwing up can take it’s toll within a day.she probably ate something weird and is trying to get it out of her system. When my dog had an upset stomach we had to cook her rice and chicken(lean meat).Take it to the vet it sounds like she could be really sick. Better to be safe than sorry!shes so young i dnt think u should take any chances. u should take the dog to the vet immediately but if u want to wait u can try to feed her nthn but boiled rice. it worked for my puppy but hes 7 months oldGo to the vet!Well my 9 week puppy was throwing up a couple weeks ago. We never found out WHY she was throwing up but when we took her to the vet we were told our dog is hypoglycemic and needed to be fed a special syrup like substance so her blood sugar wasnt low and after she was given that she ate and gained her weight back. Try finding a high protien type of wet food and make it paste like. And maybe go to your local vet and ask if your puppy’s blood sugar is low. My Puppy’s Blood sugar was supposed to be 100 and hers was 34.My chiweenie has always had that. The doctor said that some dogs just have a lot of stomach acid. I give him over the counter acid reflux medicine and make sure he eats before bed. He mostly has the vomiting at night. Because your baby is so young you should get him to the vet just to rule something else out.
