Sentence has been further deferred on a man who admitted injuring a dog by running it to exhaustion before it collapsed and lost consciousness.
Jason McKay caused the Husky unnecessary suffering when he cycled with the dog on a lead near Hoodles PlayBarn by Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire on the B9170 road.
The 27-year-old then tried to pull the dog along a footpath by its lead after it fell to the ground about four miles away in Burn Lane in Inverurie.
McKay outside court
The animal was run and walked to exhaustion which caused it to lose consciousness and suffer breathing problems.
All of the dog’s four paws were also injured and bleeding following the incident on July 22 last year.
The court heard McKay suffered from autism, dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
