BANGKOK — A Bangkok man was yesterday sentenced to 14 months in prison for shooting dead a stray dog last year but is unlikely to serve any jail time.

Wicha Boonluelak’s sentence on animal cruelty and firearm charges was suspended Thursday by the court on the condition he participates in community service. Wicha confessed to stopping his car and killing the female dog because she often chased vehicles driving through the area.
