A dog owner who neglected his pets for weeks in a locked room resulting in one of them cannibalising another has walked free from court.
Disturbing and distressing details of Paul Wynne's neglect of his dogs, Blue, George and Polly, were revealed in court as the 42-year-old was prosecuted for the inhumane treatment of the animals.
Police officers had to forced their way into Wynne's home in Liverpool after neighbours reported the stench of decomposition and "maggots coming through the ceiling" of the flat below.
