Cameron Brunning, a 22-year-old man, recently received a ban on owning pets after committing a horrific act of violence against his own puppy. In a disturbing incident caught on CCTV, Brunning was seen attacking his two-year-old bulldog, Biscuit, in the elevator of his apartment building. The footage shows him dragging the poor dog by her leash before brutally stomping on her head, kicking her, and shouting at her.
The incident, which took place in September or October of 2023, was discovered by chance when a concierge was reviewing the CCTV footage. Upon further investigation by the RSPCA and the police, it was revealed that Biscuit had suffered both physical and mental trauma as a result of Brunning's actions. A veterinarian's examination showed signs of muscle trauma and confirmed that the poor dog had been enduring this abuse for at least four weeks.
During a court hearing, RSPCA Inspector Keogh-Laws read a statement describing the horrific scene captured on the CCTV footage. Biscuit can be seen cowering in fear and trying to escape from Brunning's violent outbursts. The attacks were completely unprovoked and the dog didn't show any signs of aggression or misbehavior leading up to them.
When questioned by the RSPCA investigator, Brunning claimed that he was trying to teach Biscuit how to behave. However, this excuse did not hold up in court and he eventually admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to the bulldog. He also pleaded guilty to failing to meet the dog's basic needs.
As a result of his actions, Brunning has been banned from owning any animals for the next five years. He has also been sentenced to a 12-month rehabilitation order and ordered to pay a contribution towards court costs and a victim surcharge. Meanwhile, Biscuit is currently staying at the RSPCA Felledge Animal Centre until she can find a new loving home.
In a statement, Inspector Keogh-Laws expressed relief that Biscuit can now look forward to a new life with a caring owner. Despite the trauma she has endured, she has shown to be a sweet and friendly dog during her time at the kennels. The RSPCA is confident that she will make a wonderful pet for someone in the future. As for Brunning, his actions have caused him to lose the privilege of owning a pet for the next five years and will hopefully serve as a reminder to others that animal abuse will not be tolerated.
