A dog owner
has admitted causing the death of three pets after leaving them in his
car for around five hours on a warm day while he went to the gym.
Jonathan
Theobald pleaded guilty to causing the Staffordshire bull terrier-type
dogs unnecessary suffering after being charged under the Animal Welfare
Act.
The
65-year-old left Daisy, Mitch and Rascal in the vehicle parked outside
Vivacity Gym in Peterborough for around five hours on June 16, with
temperatures peaking at around 19C (66F), the RSPCA said.
Two of the dogs had already died by the time he returned to his car and he tried to save the third, the animal charity said.
