'It wasn't the dogs, it was the people'

Duncan Horlor hired Paige Williams for a fee of £1400 to look after their three dogs, two cats and two birds of prey whilst on holiday

Only to return to footage showing Paige and her partner - Bradley Archer - dragging, kicking and screaming at the dogs in their care.

The couple have now been banned from keeping animals for 7 years

And Williams was also sentenced to a 12-month community order with 40 hours of unpaid work, and ordered to pay £750 costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
