Two shop workers held scared Rosco by the throat as he struggled and accidentally strangled him a court heard. The Sun Newspaper reports that they were conditionally discharged for 18 months after admitting causing unnecessary suffering. JPs in Telford, Shrops, said the dog’s agonising death was unintentional.
They were each ordered to pay £198 compensation to Alison and £500 costs. She said of her ordeal: “Rosco was a lovely dog but nervous. They should have abandoned the cut.”
