People were "sickened" after a man was caught on camera torturing a four-month-old puppy.
Callum Ruane, 21, was seen on multiple occasions punching, kicking and throwing the American Bully dog, called Dice, at his then home in Savannah Place, Great Sankey, Warrington. Disturbing and upsetting mobile phone footage was captured by horrified neighbour Susie Perry who passed it on to the RSPCA.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today when inspectors interviewed Ruane at his mum's home, he became tearful and told them he attacked Dice because he had "just completed a cycle of steroids and his head was f*****".
