MEMBERS and visitors to a top Hawai golf course were left shocked this week after discovering that two workers had stolen, killed and eaten a player’s dog.

The eight month old dog’s owner, Frank Manuma had tied up his prized pet while he played a round of golf at Moanalua Golf Club but discovered it had disappeared when he returned.

Witnesses told how they saw Saturnino Palting, 58, and Nelson Domingo, 43, put the German shepherd-labrador dog named Caddy into a car and drive away at the end of their shift on December 16.

The club fired the workers and investigators later told Mr Manuma they had butchered and ate his pet.

A grand jury indicted Palting and Domingo on theft and animal cruelty charges, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $US10,000 ($11,370) fine.
