A shameless pet owner who caused unnecessary suffering to his “wretched dog”, which led to its death, has been lucky to avoid jail according to the judge who sentenced him.
David Littlefair pled guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal after his pet dog, called Pippa, had to be put down.
On August 1 last year the Facebook account of Littlefair's partner sent a message to the local RSPCA asking for help with the sick dog.
