“As soon as I picked him up, Charlie curled into my chest and started purring. My mum and sisters looked at me and instantly we knew he was ‘the one’."
A couple who let their dog to starve to death was today given a 10-month prison sentence (suspended on a good behaviour bond) and ban on owning animals.
