My boyfriend (21) got very violent with his dog last night

My boyfriend owns a 16 month blue healer puppy that is absolutely adorable and high strung. He loves her so much and sometimes she does get out of hand and he will harmlessly push her away from him or give her a light spank. Last night we were drinking and my boyfriend got sick, thus, he was very tired this morning and woke up to diareah all over the house. I opened my eyes to my boyfriend carrying the dog out of the room from her shoulders and I heard her yelp. He probably came back into the room 3 times carrying the dog and threw her onto the bed and hit her. I felt awful for the dog and tried to give her love/explain to my boyfriend she probably had diareah and couldn’t hold it in etc but he claimed she knows not to poop in the house. After the whole fiasco was over, we noticed the dog was limping on her back leg. Also anytime he would put a hand to her to pet, she would flinch. I have owned dogs before and I know you need to have a bit of assertiveness when dealing with them/training but he definitely overreacted. It was very scary for me because while I never think he would hit me- he just showed me he can get very violent when tempered. Is this normal behavior or something worth bringing up?

TL;DR Boyfriend beat the dog this morning after she shit all over the house. Has never treated her like that before

The difference between being right and being understood

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.
