MUSKOGEE,Okla.–– Krystal Lynn Lewis and Austin Michael Mullins were held in the Muskogee County jail on $25,000 each and charged with a felony for cruelty to animals after Lewis asked Mullins to kill her Jack Russell terrier in order to skin it and make a belt out of it’s hide.

The puppy, named Poplin, was the product of a lover’s quarrel as Lewis received the terrier from an ex. Lewis wanted the puppy dead because of complications with the man who gave her Poplin. Mullins shot the terrier ten times with a pistol and Lewis skinned the puppy in her apartment and nailed the hide to a board. A Muskogee County judge ordered a mental competency hearing for Lewis.
