Danbury, CT – A man who punched his three-month-old miniature goldendoodle puppy in the head, causing the puppy’s death, has escaped legal repercussions. As reported by the Stamford Advocate, Stephen Siguenza was arrested and charged after he killed Elfie, his 15-pound puppy, but the case was disposed after Siguenza applied for a court diversionary program.
According to the warrant for his arrest, Siguenza told police he “hit the puppy twice in the head with his fist” after the dog allegedly “attacked him,” while he was trying to crate train her. The blows to the puppy’s head led her to start vomiting and defecating blood. But Siguenza maintains that it was not intentional and insists that he “would never do anything purposely to hurt animals or anyone.” After Elfie died, he buried her body in the yard.
Elfie’s breeder confirmed that the pup had been sold to Siguenza, and stated the puppies were bred to be service/therapy dog for adults and children with mental or emotional disabilities, adding that the dogs are bred for an even, non-aggressive disposition.

The puppy started defecating blood? Vomiting CAN come from head trauma., but now I know puppy was punched in the stomach….As a vet tech I can tell you that being hit in the head would not cause bloody stool. This piece of filth actually punched the dog hard enough to cause internal bleeding. I hope and pray that they pick up the charges again because we all know the Puppy didn’t attack him. It’s not in a Labradoodles DNA. We all know the man is an abusive monster who is getting off scot free!!?
THIS IS VERY DISTURBING!!! AND THIS ABHORRENT MONSTER IS DANGEROUS TO ALL LIVING THINGS!! SICK VERY SICK INDEED AND NEEDS A SERIOUS PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!
THIS POOR BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT DOG JUST ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, CRUEL THING TO DO AND NO REMORSE!!
Another case of animal abuse justice denied.
The world seems to be run by animal haters or just apathetic people.
This “man” should be subjected to the same beating and buried under the prison. And the “breeder” should pay $1 to legit dog rescues.
I meant $1 MILLION!
Agreed
