On 11 October 2008 Galliott shot his then partner’s Staffordshire bull terrier Jake in the eye with an air pistol leaving him in excruciating pain.

Galliott alleged that Jake became over-excited and bit an 11-year-old child.

Galliott flew into a rage and went upstairs to fetch his air rifle, returning a few minutes later.

The court heard how he goaded Jake before shooting him in the eye, which later had to be removed.

Sentencing: Galliott was banned from keeping animals for two years and ordered to pay fines and costs of £2,200. Jake remains with Galliott’s ex partner.
