A woman who was caught on camera kicking and hitting dogs at her kennel business has been banned from keeping the animals.
Amanda Le Bretton, 55, ran dog boarding business Home from Home Dog Retreat at her Ellesmere Port home before shocking video footage emerged on social media last summer, showing her aggressively hitting and kicking the animals in her care.
One video seen by the Liverpool Echo shows the 55-year-old picking up a dog, called Lou Lou, by its neck, causing it to squeal repeatedly. Lou Lou's owner told the ECHO she "couldn't even cry" out of shock when she watched the video.
