Irvine man accused of repeatedly abusing his ex-girlfriend’s senior dog now under investigation

A woman from Irvine California saw her then boyfriend, Alexander Kuleshov abusing her senior foster dog, Kata, according to the The Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation.

The woman found over 100 more videos of abuse on her security camera which have since been turned into police. It’s said that he is facing felony charges, but that cannot be confirmed.

Aparently Kuleshov has been frequenting dating apps since their break up and he has reportedly dated other women with dogs. He is also alleged to be abusive to the women he dates and to his 7-year-old son, but that has not been confirmed.

The video is very hard to watch and hearing Kata’s whimpering from the abuse. Just imagine trusting someone in your home with your beloved pet only to find out that they are abusing your pet in secret. It’s a complete betrayal of trust and this guy is a complete sicko that needs to be dealt with. Kata is reported to be safe in a foster home and awaiting her forever home.

Kuleshov allegedly works at a company named Bird.com. The Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation asked their followers to flood their posts with comments. Allegedly his employer knows what happened, but still continues to employee him.

Kuleshov also allegedly frequents the Life Time Lakeshore Gym in Irvine, at (949-739-6300).

The Irvine Police Department reacted to these allegations today with this Facebook post:

We are aware of a social media post of a man that appears to be abusing a dog. The incident has been under investigation by the Irvine Police Department since April, and a case has been filed with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office for review. The dog is being cared for and is safe. Thank you to everyone who voiced their concern about the incident.
