A cruel dog owner has been put behind bars after stabbing his pet 12 times in a horrifying attack before leaving her to die on a beach.
Luke Proffit, 22, carried out the vile attack on December 16, 2021, before members of the public discovered the severely injured dog lying on the beach.
Despite best efforts by vets to save her after the Sunderland incident, the dog tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest.
