A man has been spared jail after horrific CCTV footage caught him abusing his dog, including kicking him multiple times and hanging him from a fence by his lead. Footage sent to the RSPCA showed Terrance Anthony Tovey, 66, attacking his dog, a German Shepherd named Dylan on August 29 2022 in Llanelli.
A member of the public is then seen running towards the scene to intervene. A discussion follows, and the man eventually walks off with the dog down a footpath.
Following initial enquiries, a press appeal was issued in December in order to seek information from the public about the incident, which led to the identification of the man. Tovey pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act and was sentenced on Thursday 11 May.
