dailyrecord.co.uk:

A man who starved his dogs to the point where one could barely stand on its feet has been slapped with a three-year ban. One of David Luke Hill's dogs was found so malnourished at his Dundee flat that its legs would sink when it attempted to rise on all fours.

The 32-year-old pleaded guilty for failing to provide adequate nutrition and veterinary care for his animals at Dundee Sheriff Court on February 22.

Alongside a three-year ban of owning any animals, the cruel dog owner was handed 180 hours of community payback following a Scottish SPCA investigation.

The animal welfare charity's officers were alerted to the two underweight canines - Staffordshire bull terrier Kaiser, aged eight, and German shepherd Chaos, aged two - by a concerned member of the public.After attending Hill's address, they found the two dogs severely underweight.Animal welfare chiefs said it would have taken months for the dogs to reach the terrible condition.
