Dead dog had 'suffered greatly for a long time'
The Gazette
|September 27, 2025
AN XL Bully dog was starved to death and found to be covered in sores, urine and faeces.
Owner Charlotte Ann Mccall initially said Blue had wandered into her garden and died. However, she was banned from keeping a dog for 15 years after appearing at Teesside Magistrates' Court.
A vet who saw Blue said he was half his expected body weight and “had suffered greatly for a long period of time”.
Mccall, 27, was handed the ban and a 24-month community order at a sentencing hearing following an investigation and prosecution by the RSPCA. She had pleaded guilty to one offence of causing unnecessary suffering to Blue between 21 January, 2025 and 25 February, 2025 at a previous hearing.
