A suspicious man was reported Sunday night wandering with his dog through people's backyards in Park City, Kansas, and responding police say he wasn't especially cooperative, KSN reports. That man was 26-year-old Michael Rush, who a responding officer says reacted by swinging the poor pup on its leash to keep the officer at bay.
"I've never seen someone pick up a dog and swing it through the air to use it as a weapon before," the Park City Police chief says. Rush was eventually taken down with a stun gun and charged with animal cruelty, and the uninjured dog was taken into protective custody. "Everyone sees this little dog that's defenseless. It's disturbing," the police chief tells KSN.

I keep trying to picture it, but all I’m getting is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where someone is swinging a cat.
Yeah I can get behind that!
Must not have been a Pit Bull.
This incident gives a whole new meaning to “wag the dog”
A very long time ago I remember seeing a newspaper article in which a man was described as “...approaching [police] officers while wielding a live possum”.
I don’t remember the details of the story, but I loved that phrase: “wielding a live possum” - I still enjoy the imagery that it evokes in my mind.
Then there was an old favorite of mine, a man who attacked a woman swinging a frozen armadillo.

"Say hello to my little friend!"
Did the cops shoot the dog?
At least it wasn’t a duck.
