A sadistic Paisley couple have been fined after they neglected their suffering dog's chronic skin condition, which caused gaping wounds and the animal's fur to fall out.
Marlie, the mistreated eight-month-old Akita, belonged to Robert McLeish, 27, and Chanel McGaharon, 22, from Paisley, Renfrewshire. The pup was taken away from the cruel duo after a Scottish SPCA ( SSPCA ) officer found her lying in pain outside the pair's house.
A report had been made to the animal welfare charity from a concerned local after they witnessed her condition. On arrival, Marlie was discovered covered in bleeding scabs, with a gaping wound and had swollen paws, writes the Daily Record.
