Coventry - A man who locked up two dogs in his flat, leaving one of the starving pets to eat the other in desperation, has been jailed. Anthony Valentine, whose Alsatian ate a Rottweiler after failing to escape from his owner's flat, received a five-month sentence for dog cruelty charges and a six month concurrent sentence for unrelated theft charges.
Magistrates were told how the two dogs were left without water or food for more than a month.
