THE gay dog groomer accused of stabbing his lover with a scissors says the alleged victim actually abused him — biting him on the nose, face and scrotum and sending him to the emergency room three times in as many years. Yesterday, The Post reported how celebrity dog groomer Howie Binder, co-owner of Doggie-Do & Pussycats, Too!, alleges that his lover and business partner, Larry Roth, attacked him with scissors during a violent spat. But Roth's lawyer, Joel S. Walter, told PAGE SIX that Roth was defending himself. "Howie is a biter," Walter says. "He bites Larry all over his body. Larry has had Howie arrested before. This time, Howie was literally choking him to death when Larry grabbed the scissors." Binder responded that he bit Roth only when the bigger man jumped on top of him. "He is a 400-pound man, and I had to get him off me somehow," said 160-pound Binder, who admitted he was arrested last year after hitting Roth with a cowboy boot. Binder says the scissors incident destroyed their dysfunctional relationship. "In one night, I lost my best friend, my lover, my partner," he said. "Everything crumbled in one night."
YAH THINK
BTW Starr better watch out. I can see Al's lover charging her with a knife during the ceremony.
