PASADENA, Calif. (KTLA) -- A Pasadena man is accused of beating a dog so badly that Humane Society employees are calling it the worst case of animal abuse they've ever seen in the city.

Young Song, 40, pleaded not guilty Thursday to one felony count of cruelty to an animal and one misdemeanor count of petty theft of a dog with a special allegation of personal use of a deadly weapon, a hammer, said Deputy District Attorney Alison Matsumoto.

Song, an animator at DreamWorks, is credited with working on films such as "Kung Fu Panda," "Shark Tale" and "Madagascar 2."
