Authorities said Land claimed the dog runs toward the gate and tries to get over the fence every time he walks home from a nearby park.
According to the arrest report, the dog had a cut on the top of its skull and was bleeding.
Police said the woman told officers Land was taunting her dog with his book bag before stabbing the dog in the head.

Land was arrested on an animal cruelty charge and taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
