Dogsey

A helpless pet puppy was left with broken bones and bruises because of the brutal training regime of its thug owner.

Matthew Hawskworth started out biting his new pet but soon, he was also punching her, kicking her with steel-capped boots and throwing her across the room.

Suspecting he was training the black and white Staffordshire bull terrier, his girlfriend became so disturbed by Hawksworth’s behaviour, she reported him to a vet, who in turn told the RSPCA.

Appearing before Manchester magistrates, Hawksworth, 21, from Wythenshawe, Manchester, was warned he may face jail after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to a dog.
