CONVICTED (2017) | Corey Martin Jones, born 18/02/1996, and Layla-May Allsopp, born 21/07/1998 , both of Albert Road, Cinderford GL14 2HS – convicted of cruelty towards an elderly Staffy
Allsopp and Jones, who are parents, admitted failing to meet the needs of 12-year-old Max when they appeared before magistrates.
When Max was first discovered by the RSPCA he was significantly underweight at 15.7kg.
Following a visit to a vet, Allsopp and Jones were asked to ensure that he was seen and weighed regularly, and if he failed to put on weight then the weight loss should be explored.
The pair failed to return to the vet after ignoring several reminders to attend.
RSPCA inspector Suzi Smith said: “Max is now 20Kg and back to full health despite his age. This was simply by providing food.”
Max was signed over to the RSPCA at the court hearing.
Sentencing: eight-week custodial sentence, suspended for one year; £50 court costs each. Banned from keeping animals for just two years (expired 2019).

Thankfully he has survived and is now looked after.
