An unfair punishment

Me and my grandpa were having a discussion about punishments, what kind of punishment can we give to my dog who had broken my mobile phone. I told grand pa to think that what kind of punishment can i give to it. Grandpa was thinking when suddenly his face fated. I asked him what was the  matter and usual he started to tell a story.
The story was about a boy who lived in grandpa's village when he was a teenager. The boy was called Barko, he was a kind of rough and hot tempered boy. He was a orphan and therefore was hated by every one. None gave him food or shelter so he used to lead his life alone and used to steal foods and clothes from other's house. But he was a good boy because he  always shared food with other poor children.
One day one family came in our village for performing a picnic. Barko thought that he can help them and can earn some money. At night when every slept ,he stole every thing and escaped. but he did not know that the owner of that property was a arm superintendent.
Next day we heard that a thief was caught and everyone said to come in the corn field in afternoon with some stones. I and ma father went there and saw that it was Barko. The superintendent gave some lecture but i was not paying attention to him, i was looking at Barko. He was crying loudly and was crying for help. After few minutes every body started to throw stones.  After sometimes when blood started to roll down his body i came home.
I thought they will set him free but they didn't. They gave so many works to do but didn't give him any food. They kept him starving for two days. After tow days they gave him to eat dog food. Then again for three days they did  not provide any food or water. Once i hide into the bushes and saw that his legs were binded with a tree and he was unconscious. And i saw he was given unboiled meat to eat. I can't imagine this kind of punishment only for stealing something. 
Next day was one of the one of the most happiest day in my life because those were going back. At night when they went far away from the village i went looking for Barko. But there no sign of him where i saw him binded .Then i called my other friends and started to search for him. That we didn't get him. Next day we again went on the search but we did not , then we lost hope.
After three days when a women was pulling water from the lake she saw a hand floating on the water and shouted. Immediately we  went there and pulled up the body. The body was none but Barko's.
