Earlier this week, a woman was killed because of a dispute over a cat, today The Daily News reports that another death over an animal dispute this week as well. On Wednesday, Otto Mittler of Bayside broke his hip after being shoved to the ground. The 85 year-old Mittler died Friday. Out for a walk with his miniature schnauzer Max, Mittler's dog allegedly peed on one of Joseph Marsala's azalea's. Marsala, 84, sprayed Max in retaliation, which then caused an enraged Mittler to charge and punched Marsala. Marsala then shoved Mittler to ground where he broke his hip. After receiving emergency surgery to repair his hip, a pre-existing heart condition seems to have contributed to Mittler's death.
Ursula, Mittler's wife of 57 years was devastated, telling the News, "He was full of life. He loved everybody. He got to the grave sooner than he should have. We would have had a couple more years together."

What's with all the senior citizens killing each other over pet pee?
You should have some respect for your neighbors yard especially when they are standing outside..
Dog pee is natural. On your person? Not ok. On your plants? Let it go.
Very sad that someone died, but I did laugh at the geriatric gangstas comment. Am I a bad person?
Wait, the 85 year old dude had a 57 year old wife? Nice. Okay, I am probably a bad person.
i believe the line implies they had been married for 57 years. but, what do i know?
What did the guy spray the dog with exactly? A hose? Pepper spray? His own pee?
