You need to warn people
Some of us get very upset at animal cruelty, and don't like to hear graphic descriptions of animal mutilation. Personally, I'm probably going to have nightmares about your article tonight. That might not bother you, because I'm sure that you care more about getting your point across than my feelings, but I think you could have gotten your point across more gently, or if you couldn't then the article could have had some kind of warning for people who have pets and get unreasonably upset at the thought of dogs being harmed.
Actually - thinking more about this, I'm really more offended. If you wrote an article like this about humans, you would never have treated the readers so brutally, but you purport to think of dogs as "friends", which makes me think that you realize how important they are in our lives. There is no excuse for this kind of writing. You would never talk about a human being cut open.
