An illegal puppy seller and a friend have been jailed after they brutally attacked a man angry at his treatment of dogs.
Marco Tondo, 34, teamed up with Danny Davidson, 26, to pounce on Daley Halbert, who was left with more than a dozen fractures.
Graphic CCTV footage showed the thug pair tail the 36 year-old victim out of a pub before punching, kicking and stamping on him in the middle of traffic.
The daylight attack on July 31 2020 came just months after Tondo was spared jail following a guilty plea to selling mis-treated puppies from an illegal "pet shop" in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire.
Tondo and Davidson today returned to the dock at the High Court in Glasgow.
They previously pled guilty to assaulting Mr Halbert to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of his life outside the Buck Inn pub in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway.
Judge Scott Pattison jailed Tondo, of Annan, for six years and ordered he be supervised for a further two years on his release.
Davidson, of Gretna, Dumfries and Galloway, was sentenced to five years and three months.
The earlier hearing was told how Mr Halbert knew both men, but was not aware of Tondo's first name.
They were all in the pub on the day of the attack.
Prosecutor Angela Gray said Mr Halbert was a "dog lover" and knew Tondo had been involved in breeding the animals.
He was then said to be "unhappy" on hearing things Tondo was saying about dogs.
The court heard "words were exchanged" before Mr Halbert decided to leave the bar.
Footage played during the hearing then showed both thugs follow the victim onto the street before grabbing him.
Miss Gray: "He was punched and kicked on the body and they repeatedly stamped on his head.
"The attack was sustained and Mr Halbert was unable to defend himself."
As the victim lay stricken, the attackers walked away before one of the thugs then returned to boot him again.
Shocked diners at a nearby restaurant took photos to further help identify the pair, who eventually fled in a car.
The court heard Mr Halbert suffered "extensive" fractures with more than 12 to the face including a broken nose, jaw and eye socket.
He ended up needing reconstructive surgery with possible concerns of a brain injury.

Tondo's lawyer Paul Mullen said the thug was "disgusted and ashamed" at what he caused.
Donna Armstrong, defending Davidson, told how being on remand had seen him miss the birth of his first child.
The advocate had asked for an alternative to prison stating Davidson could pay "substantial" compensation as well as serving the maximum 300 hours of unpaid work and being put on a curfew.
But, Judge Pattison said only prison could be imposed on both.
He told the thugs: "This was a significant offence of sustained violence.
"It is clear it has had a significant and ongoing impact on the victim's life.
"The video was hard to watch such was the degree of violence."
