Here is a horrible story about a cruel dog owner in Scotland.
A Scottish woman has been banned from keeping animals after she tied up her dog and then left it without food or water for days while she went out drinking!
Basically, this woman abandoned her dog for a couple of days and went off to meet friends of hers, who she went drinking with. To control the dog when she was out, she used the dog's lead and tied it to the top of a cupboard door. This meant the dog could only move a tiny little bit - and couldn't lie down at all!
The next-door neighbours heard the dog barking and crying and called the RSPCA. This is an organisation we have here that helps to look after animals. RSPCA stands for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They went to the house and found the dog and then reported the incident to the police.
The woman was taken to curt and found guilty of treating her dog badly. The court banned her from keeping any animals for life! The dog was taken into care and the RSPCA are now looking after it.
If you want to read more about the RSPCA and what they do, here's their website.
The sad story made me cry .
