She wasn’t this man’s best friend. A 55-year-old Florida man allegedly strangled a 15-month-old pit bull/Labrador Retriever mix in a heartless fit of rage — then buried the pooch in his backyard. Howard Blair was busted on animal cruelty charges last week for the alleged heinous assault after his pup “Nutmeg” bit one of his other dogs during a feeding in January, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said in a release Monday.
