A man from Huyton has been banned from keeping animals for five years after inflicting multiple injuries on his 18 week-old puppy.
Perry Jones, 22, of Browning Close, Huyton, pleaded guilty to three animal welfare offences after his English Bull Terrier puppy Lola was found with numerous injuries consistent with blunt force trauma. X-rays showed Lola had fractures to two legs, her hip, four ribs and her jaw had been fractured twice.
Veterinary examinations concluded the injuries were caused at different times. She also had an injury to her ear when she was rescued and had a red mark on her head.
