In North Wales, UK two officers living together are facing possible jail time for cruelty against their pet dogs.
A neighbor who had noticed some disturbing behavior called the RSPCA, when they came out to evaluate the situation they found no evidence of abuse.
Now comes the award for good neighbor (to dogs) of the year, she took it upon herself to set up a camera to get the abuse on film.
Prosecuting, Glenn Murphy said: “To her credit this lady purchased a camera and she took many hours of video footage.”
A DVD, about 15-20 minutes in length, was played to the court.
In one scene Mason was filmed hitting the pup’s head and kicking her.
Later the dog was seen pulling washing from a line before Macleod emerged from the house and chased it to a corner of the yard. Out of shot of the camera the dog could then be heard yelping.
Officers Anja Mason, 29 and Craig Macleod, 34 now face losing their jobs. Both have been removed from frontline duty pending the outcome of the case. Thanks to the caring neighbor these two will hopefully get what they deserve.
