    Talica got the criminal side of the legal recourse question, but your brother might also seek compensation through a civil action. Depending on your state law, pets can be seen as property and thus, should someone damage or destroy that pet, your brother would be entitled to the value of the dog. Also, if that neighbor had to enter your brother's property, there is always the possibility of a trespass action. Your best bet, or your brother's best bet rather, is to consult an attorney.

    Not enough info for a quick answer.

    However, most states have enacted laws to protect animals. Unless the neighbor was in imminent danger of losing his life, several states would bring charges against the neighbor, and may even cite your brother for violation.

    I strongly suggest that you type into your search bar...Animal Cruelty Act..find your state's name and follow all links, including city and county codes and ordinances concerning dogs.
