#MostEvil | Michael Gordon Murray, born 7 February 1991, of Maple Court, Alloa FK10 1JS – left a severely injured puppy to die
Father-of-three Michael Murray was arrested after the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, aged between six and 10 weeks, was left to die in the dirt behind a takeaway in Maple Court. Murray was supposed to be looking after the pup, who belonged to his flatmate.
A member of the public heard the distressed pup’s squeals and found her severely injured and unable to walk.
He took the pup to Alloa Police Station and officers sent for a vet. The puppy was found to have a broken lower back, a severed spinal cord and was completely paralysed below the waist. Due to the severity of her injuries she had to be put down.
Staff with the Scottish SPCA worked alongside Police Scotland to investigate the circumstances which led to the puppy sustaining those injuries.
In December 2016, Murray appeared in court charged with causing the dog “unnecessary suffering” by stamping on her and kicking her on the body, thus requiring her to be euthanised.
Instead Murray pleaded guilty to an amended charge, which removed any reference to him stomping on the puppy.
The charge, which was accepted by prosecutors, read that Murray caused unnecessary suffering to the animal and did “fail to afford said dog medical treatment” when he knew her to be injured, and in circumstances that required the pup to be euthanised.
No explanation was given to the court as to how the puppy ended up injured or outside.
In May 2017 Murray was given a Community Payback Order with 180 hours of unpaid work to be completed within three months. He appealed against this because of the effect on his family life and was given a curfew and tagging order instead.
He was also banned from owning, keeping or caring for an animal for five years with the right of appeal after three years (ban expired 2022).
