Cabella, a Labrador Retriever, was killed with an explosive device on Sunday, allegedly by his new owner.

A Washington State man arrested for allegedly attaching explosives to the family dog and blowing him up won't face animal cruelty charges because the dog didn't suffer, a law enforcement official said.

Christopher W. Dillingham, 45, of Stevenson, was charged with reckless endangerment and possession of an explosive d... after the incident Sunday, according to KATU.

Sheriff's deputies responded to Dillingham's home at about 4 a.m. when neighbors heard an explosion. Body parts of the Labrador Retriever, named Cabella, were found strewn across the yard.

Investigators say Dillingham -- who owns a fireworks stand and has a history of domestic violence -- attached an explosive device to Cabella's neck and detonated it.

Dillingham told deputies that his ex-girlfriend gave him the dog and "put the devil in it," KOIN reports.

Undersheriff Dave Cox told the station that Dillingham wasn't initially charged with animal cruelty because the "death [to the dog] was instantaneous." He said prosecutors may add more charges later.

UPDATE: Skamania County prosecutors tell KATU that they initially chose charges that would lead to a higher bail for Dillingham. He's still not charged with animal cruelty, but Prosecuting Attorney Adam Kick said the charge is still on the table and "absolutely applicable."

This man deserves to be blown up. What a beautiful dog I'm so glad I don't live near him.

I'd be happy to volunteer to tie explosives to his testicles and lighting the fuse. I consider it my civic duty.

eeeeeeeee.. man oh man , you don't want the dog you give em away .. if nobody wants to take it then you give it to a shelter.. the very worst that can happen . ( sadly ) is nobody else wants him and they put him to sleep .. but come on .. you don't blow the fucken dog up .. what a fucktard ..

This is too egregious to be left the way it is.  Whatever they do to him won't be enough.  He's a dangerous individual, not just to animals, but to humans, especially his ex-girlfriend.

Where is my shotgun. He would be a great target.

It is stories like this that make me an advocate for the death penalty.  Children and animals, this man needs to be put down, IMHO.
