A cruel dog owner has been put behind bars after stabbing his pet 12 times in a horrifying attack before leaving her to die on a beach.

Luke Proffit, 22, carried out the vile attack on December 16, 2021, before members of the public discovered the severely injured dog lying on the beach.

Despite best efforts by vets to save her after the Sunderland incident, the dog tragically passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest.

Upon arrest, Proffit told police "It's not illegal to kill your dog", Chronicle Live reports. On May 30, he appeared at Newcastle Crown Court after pleading guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.He was subsequently jailed for 18 months and banned from owning animals for 18 years.
