A heartless dog owner has been handed a fine after leaving a starving pooch locked in a kitchen that was filled with its faeces for days on end.
Michael Stobbs was approached by the Scottish SPCA at his home on February 1 2021 after a number of calls were made to the helpline regarding his Akita cross, Samson. The dog was found to have been living in disgusting and unsanitary conditions.
The animal experts found that the poorly pet was clearly underweight and investigators stated that his ribs and hips were showing through his skin which was itchy and infected. The vulnerable Akita was also found to have suffered from hair loss and his eyes were leaking a yellow discharge.
