FAIRFIELD– Fairfield City Hall/Civic Complex workers were shocked and dismayed to witness Bryan Cavanah carry his family pet pit bull, “Kia,” out into a scenic pond behind the building and drown her.

Several witnesses told NBC Bay Area News that on the morning of August 14 they observed Cavanah repeatedly push Kia’s head underwater until she finally died. One witness, Luis Huezo, told KCRA News that he yelled out at Cavanah to stop killing the dog, but that he was ignored.
Cavanah admitted to the authorities that he killed the three-year-old dog belonging to his father, Ronald Cavanah, but was unsure how that transpired. In a strange jailhouse interview, Bryan Cavanah told a KTXL reporter that he’d never hurt his father’s dog; he only realized Kia was dead when he emerged from a “trance state.”
“I was bawling out tears because I loved that dog … she was like a therapy dog to me,” Cavanah said. “How could I be a murderer if I didn’t know I was doing that?”
Ronald Cavanah inexplicably stated that he does not hold his son responsible for the dog’s death. He told KXTL News that Bryan was in a “trance epileptic state.”

“It wasn’t his fault. I don’t even understand how he could be in jail for this because he has no recollection of what he was doing. He would never hurt that puppy,” said Ronald.
Nevertheless, Bryan Cavanah was charged with felony animal cruelty. In fact, this was not his first brush with the law. At the time he killed Kia, he was on probation for assaulting a teacher in 2010.
