Aaron Kluger: Long Island Man Denies Biting Dog's Eye Out [VIDEO]

A Long Island man touted as a "sicko" for allegedly biting an eye out of his parents Shih Tzu is fighting back, along with his parents. "Sicko arrested for biting out eye of parent's pet Shih Tzu," a New York Post headlinereads.

In a Facebook video uploaded late Monday night, Kluger adamantly denies any wrongdoing and films himself with the dog.

So this is my dog Chloe and this is me, Aaron Kluger. Very misleading new's articles have been released saying that I bit her eye out.

Chloe had a minor eye injury about a month ago and the vet had reported to the SPCA that they believed it was a human-caused injury, which is false. You can see Chloe's eye.

The man, who resides in Long Island's Port Washington, then shows a close-up of Chloe's seemingly intact eyes. "No sign of anyone biting her eyes out, least of all me," he stated on the video.

How could you not love a cute little doggie like this?". Dan Kluger, the suspect's father, told the New York Daily News:.

The eye was slightly displaced, it was a minor injury. It was an accident. You should know that a Shih Tzu's eye can be displaced just by pulling the skin back. They put it back in place.

It was hardly noticeable. I didn't even think she required immediate medical attention. They made it appear as if he performed vivisection on this dog. My son is suicidal now.

The father "described his son as a heroin addict who classified as emotionally disabled by the committee for special education in the Port Washing school district," according to NY Daily News.

The media outlet reported that Gary Rogers, a spokesman for the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said Kluger was arrested Saturday after officials from a local animal hospital were told by a "family member" what had allegedly happened.

Messages were left for Kluger and the Nassau County SPCA, who were not immediately available.

Tennessee Gas Tax Video Package - Duration: 1:36.

The gas tax is one of the most hotly contested issues of debate in Tennessee politics.

Citizens are paying more at the pump, and the debate is over whether or not that increase

is justified.

Supporters of the increased taxes say that the legislation is going to provide over 300

million dollars to the state department of transportation.

They say that money will be used to fund the state's 10 billion dollars in backlogged road

projects.

Those opposed to the taxes say that the legislation is having negative impacts.

I spoke to Jeremy Hayes, who is a candidate for State Representative in district 57, and

he says that the increased prices at the pump have resulted in increased prices in other

places.

Whenever you raise the cost, the overhead cost of the companies that transport goods

to the source, such as diesel and registration fees, they're not going to eat that additional

overhead.

What are they going to do?

They are going to pass it on to us the consumer, so now we're literally seeing this everywhere

we go.

The price of gas has gone up and the price on what we're paying in the store has also

gone up.

Whether that's shirts, shoes, tires or even the products that we buy such as food.

Everything has gone up.

The fight over whether or not to repeal the legislation will be at the forefront of the

2018 election cycle.

The time frame's simple.

If we can get enough people elected to office, that's going to be one of the first bills

that we push for is to repeal the gas, diesel and registration tax increase.

So I would say somewhere in the '18 timeframe, 2018, this can be done.

If not, then you know shortly into 2019.

A request for comment from Susan Lynn, who is Hayes' opponent, was not returned.
