A woman who filmed herself "abusing" a dog in what a court heard was a "cry for help" has been handed a suspended jail sentence. Jamey McCusker, 23, was at "the end of her tether" with her pet when she verbally and physically abused the animal.
A court heard Ms McCusker believed she was purchasing a Staffordshire bull terrier but instead purchased Storm, a female chocolate-coloured dog, who was actually a cross breed with a pitbull, reports HullLive.
The woman, from Longhill, in Hull, appeared in court charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal after the first of two videos showed McCusker shouting at the animal and throwing a wooden object, believed to be a kitchen utensil, at the dog's side.
