A cruel pet owner has avoided a ban from keeping animals despite repeatedly kicking her dogs and pushing their heads into the ground.
Drunk Lyndsay Netherton was spotted by a passer-by attacking the two Stafforshire Bull Terriers, named Sasha and Alfie, in the middle of Blyth Market Place, in Northumberland.
The witness was so concerned, she called the police and officers soon attended the scene, a court was told.
