A Leigh 58-year-old has admitted animal cruelty charges.
Carl Marsden, of Laxey Crescent, appeared before Wigan justices to plead guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a Staffordshire bull terrier called Tiara in September and October last year by asphyxiating the pet and failing to secure veterinary care for her when she was suffering from an ulcerated abdominal tumour, lack of appetite and weakness.
The case was adjourned until October 4 for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
