Gary Mulligan's pet Zuko attacked Agnes Donaldson and killed her Yorkshire Terrier in Glasgow's Castlemilk on May 1, 2023.
Zuko leapt on 63-year-old Agnes who fell to the ground and landed on her wrist. The dog then latched onto Agnes' pet who grasped it in his jaw and shook it violently. The Yorkshire Terrier suffered puncture wounds to the kidney and later died.
He said: "Those who choose to have such animals as pets must accept responsibilities and consequences that flow from that. You say you recognise the consequences of the offences but your attitude to the sentencing process leaves me with doubt about that. Agnes felt intimidated and decided to walk away. Prosecutor Katie Bell said: "The large dog started running towards the witness Donaldson’s dog. Agnes attempted to pick her dog up to protect it but the large dog jumped up her causing her to fall and she landed on her wrist.
