A death sentence has been given in Pakistan's Punjab province, but what makes this instance unique is that it has been given to a dog! The crime committed by the dog is that it bit a child.

According to Geo TV, the canine was given death penalty in Bhakkar's Klor vicinity in Punjab province by Assistant Commissioner Raja Saleem.

Assistant Commissioner Saleem had made a weird statement while he announced the death sentence. "The dog injured the child, hence, it should be killed," ANI quoted him as saying.

Jamil, the owner of the dog, on the other hand said: "The affected child's family registered a case against my dog, following which it completed a one-week prison sentence. Any further punishment for it would be unfair."

The dog's owner has now filed a plea against this absurd punishment. Jamil even said that he would plead all the courts to make sure that justice is served to his pet.
