This case is considered one of the most shocking and high-profile animal cruelty cases in British history...
On December 3, 2019, a couple in their 30s told the local council that they found a emaciated dog in front of their home.
It looks incredibly pitiful; hopefully, the parliament can help it...
She was shocked when council staff came to pick up her dog that day.
The dog's condition was extremely bad; it was arguably the worst she had experienced in her fifteen years in the job.
From a distance, the dog's body was so thin that its ribs were clearly visible.
Upon closer inspection, it was found to be severely dehydrated and too weak to stand. Its weight was also only half that of a normal dog.
In addition, due to long-term extreme malnutrition, almost all of its fur has fallen out.
They even suffer from dermatitis and mite infestation.
This shows how badly the dog's previous owner treated it, to the point of bringing it to the brink of death!
To find the culprit who nearly killed the dog, the council posted the dog's photo online on Christmas Eve that year.
In an instant, photos of the dog went viral online...
Netizens were outraged after seeing this and expressed their determination to condemn the owner.
Over the course of a few days, the parliament's mailbox received dozens of emails.
However, everyone was shocked when all the evidence pointed to them.
The owner who caused the dog's condition was none other than the couple who claimed to have found the dog at their doorstep!
As soon as the evidence came out, everyone immediately took them to court.
However, due to the rampant pandemic at the time, the trial was delayed for two years.
However, no one has forgotten what they did to the dog.
Finally, the case went to trial on March 3, 2022…
In court, the couple admitted that the dog was indeed theirs.
However, they did not abuse the dog; it was only because they neglected to take care of the dog during that period after the death of a loved one that the dog ended up like this.
This explanation sounds utterly absurd.
Fortunately, the judge was fair, and the couple's arguments were rejected in court.
Persistence pays off, and the couple were ultimately sentenced to 12 weeks in prison with no possibility of postponement!
In addition, each person must pay £120 for the harm done to the dog.
A case that lasted three years has finally come to an end, and the outcome is gratifying...
Oh, and let everyone see how the dog is doing.
With everyone's careful care, the dog not only recovered its health but also grew back a thick, beautiful coat.
Moreover, it has regained a loving family and new companions.
Surrounded by happiness, it was very happy every day...
Thanks to all the kind people who helped it along the way, otherwise its life would have ended three years ago...
