A Shropshire man has been found guilty of punching his girlfriend’s puppy. Matthew Blagborough, 22, of Cardiff, was put before Telford Magistrates where they heard he repeatedly punched the 12 week old Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
The court also heard from a vet who confirmed the injuries sustained were consistent with being punched, and from a group of friends who said they'd witnessed the attack.
Blagborough was convicted of causing suffering to the dog at his girlfriend’s home on 30 January.
The case has now been adjourned until the 20 December for sentence. Blagbourogh has been warned he could face imprisonment.
Well I hope they throw the book at him and his girlfriend has dumped him.
