Owner guilty of overfeeding dog

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

A man was found guilty today of failing to ensure the welfare of an animal after his dog was found to be dangerously overweight.

Taz, a five-year-old border collie, was taken into the care of Brighton and Hove City Council after his owner, Ronald West, ignored repeated orders to improve his diet.

At 88lb (40kg), the animal was twice its ideal weight of 44lb (20kg), Brighton Magistrates' Court heard.
