A BADLY injured dog had to be put down by a vet after a man brutally stabbed it with a knife in a “horrific” attack that was allegedly sparked by the animal biting him on his nose.

Police later found a large amount of blood and “blood-shaped paw prints” in the garden from the “vicious, cruel and heartless” stabbing, Hull Crown Court heard.

Hull man Brandon Logan, 22, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal on May 11. Andrew Lister, prosecuting, said that, in the early hours, the emergency services received a telephone call from Logan's mother to say that she had just been told by him in another telephone call that his dog, called KiKi, had supposedly bitten him on the face and that he had stabbed the dog with a knife. The mother claimed in a “harrowing” statement that Logan told her in his telephone call: “She bit my nose off. She bit my f***ing nose off”
