A vet told the court in a report that when he shouted at the dog, the puppy cowered in 'extreme fear'
Martin Dunn, "lost his temper" after five-month-old springer spaniel pooed on a carpet and hit the defenceless animal three or four times, reports Yorkshire Live.
The court heard how on the day of the attack on the pooch, Dunn "saw red". Probation claimed that the Dunn had been on duty at the terrorism incident at Manchester Arena in 2017 and has been suffering from PTSD "but without realising it". Chief Superintendent Michael Allen, Head of GMP's Professional Standards Branch, said: "Greater Manchester Police expects the highest standards of conduct from its officers, both on and off duty, and Dunn's actions clearly fell far short of these standards. The vast majority of police officers and staff fulfil their duties in serving the public to the highest standard and demonstrate exemplary behaviour in their private lives.
