Kim Norman Rendall is facing jail after he was caught on camera dragging his white husky Daisy for around 200 metres while tied with a rope back in April. The 65-year-old has since pleaded guilty to two counts of causing the unnecessary suffering of an animal contrary to the Animal Welfare Act at the North Somerset Magistrates' Court.

The magistrates have agreed that since the starting point for sentencing is two years in prison for his crimes, their powers were likely to be insufficient - and the case has been referred to Bristol Crown Court. Rendall was released on bail, until his next court appearance on 21 November.

After the case, the RSPCA released video footage showing Daisy being dragged along the road in Timsbury, near Bath. Numerous motorists witnessed the incident and tried to stop Rendall by beeping and flashing their lights at his red Nissan Micra. SWNS reports that the court heard one of the motorists shouted "dog, dog" out of a window, prompting a woman to flag the car down.
