A 23-year-old St. Paul man will serve two years of probation after he hurled his girlfriend's pit bull puppy off a second-story balcony. The dog's injuries were so bad that it had to be euthanized.

Quincy Lee Morrow pleaded guilty to the felony mistreatment of an animal last month. According to the charges, he threw the 5-month-old puppy off the balcony last November.

The judge ordered Morrow to not live in any home with pets or possess any pets.

To make matters worse, Morrow is now a father. The judge ordered him to start a parenting program ASAP, to avoid any baby throwing in the future.
