A provincial courtroom in Vancouver has heard chilling details of the injuries of a German shepherd left for dead in a Kitsilano dumpster last summer.
Sobs and sniffles can be heard throughout the court as Crown details the puncture wounds and lacerations Captain suffered at the hands of his owner.
Brian Whitlock pleaded guilty to animal cruelty in April.
At issue is whether he had a guilty mind when he carried out the abuse.
Hawshall says Whitlock told a police interviewer he felt he had to kill the dog because it had become too aggressive.
