A Queens man held his girlfriend’s 4-month-old puppy against a scalding-hot pipe during a fight and was expected to get eight months behind bars for it Tuesday.

Dwayne Ellis had been arguing with his live-in girlfriend when he pressed her pit-bull puppy up against the hot pipe in their Jamaica apartment bathroom last winter, burning the dog’s neck and torso, according to a criminal complaint.

Ellis, 24, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Queens Supreme Court and will be sentenced at a later date.

The dog made a full recovery.
