Orange County cops began investigating Horvath last month after receiving a tip on Crimeline about the alleged animal abuse.

When deputies contacted Horvath at his home near Bithlo, they found the dog's legs were duct taped closed with a cloth pressed against her lower half, according to an arrest affidavit.

After Horvath refused to pay for medical attention to treat the dog, investigators convinced Horvath to turn the dog over to animal services.

A veterinarian decided it would be best to euthanize the 8-year-old animal.

A necropsy was conducted on the animal and veterinarians discovered human, male DNA inside the dog's body.

Deputies conducted an interview with Horvath during which officers say he confessed to sodomizing the dog several times.

He told investigators he did it because, "he was lonely," the report said
