The prosecution asked for the adjournment
The man accused of causing unnecessary suffering to a dog who was found seriously injured and partially buried, has had his case adjourned to Thursday, June 8.The dog at the centre of the case, an American Bull Dog called Luna, was euthanised by vets due to her critical condition after she was discovered by a member of the public in Ballyarnett Country Park on March 15, 2023.
The PSNI officer stated the female dog was severely emaciated, had multiple punctures to her nose and head, her abdomen had collapsed preventing normal breathing and she had also sustained fresh bite injuries and broken teeth. She had been found with a large piece of masonry covering her head. The court heard that police had searched Peter Toland's home in Derry and three Whippet type dogs were located in a dog pen which had no bedding, no water and only small amounts of food. A large amount of faecal matter was observed by officers, along with a strong smell of urine.
