A cold-hearted California man caught on surveillance video throwing a dog in the gutter and shooting him dead was sentenced to five years in prison this week on animal cruelty charges.

Shane Michael Dubyak, 23, pleaded no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday to the cruel Jan. 5 killing of a 15-year-old terrier named Artie, according to a report in the Long Beach Post.

Surveillance footage released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office shows a person getting out of the passenger side of a white Jeep Grand Cherokee around 12:45 p.m. on the day of the incident.

The individual, identified by police as Dubyak, is seen in the distance removing an object from the vehicle. Two gunshots are then heard on the video before the SUV drives off.

Police said the “object” was Artie, who had been left in Dubyak’s care, the Post said.

A witness to the incident alerted cops, who identified Dubyak as the culprit. He was spotted five days later driving a black Kia Forte, and led police on a high-speed chase.

Deputies caught up with him and charged him with animal cruelty, fleeing police, drug possession and possession of a gun — which cops said he tossed from the vehicle during the chase.

A woman who was driving the Jeep Grand Cherokee when Dubyak shot the pup was questioned but released without charges, the report said.

Dubyak faced more than 14 years in prison if convicted on all charges, but agreed to the five-year sentence.
