A vile pair of drug dealers have been jailed after three helpless pooches were found with serious health conditions after being locked away in abhorrent conditions.
The RSPCA rescued Sox and Nelson, two Staffordshire bull terriers, and Bella, a French bulldog, from a cramped bathroom with a mountain of faeces inside the home of their owners, Neil Coates and Vikki Hoyland. Four empty bowls were also found on the floor.
Two of the animals were so malnourished and suffering from serious underlying health problems that they were unable to stand, while Bella had a severe skin infection, which had left her with red raw patches. All three pets were taken to a vet for treatment but, sadly, Sox and Nelson had to be put to sleep.
