Disturbing footage shows an XL bully owner beating his pet and whipping it with a metal lead.
Gareth Cox admitted to 'hitting the dog approximately nine times with a metal lead' - a breach of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 - at Willesden Magistrates' Court.
In the shocking video of the 45-year-old's brutal attack, he is also seen hoisting his dog, named Cyrus, up by its throat and can be heard saying: 'Don't run off, you stupid f*****g dog'.
He pleaded guilty in court to failing to prevent his pet XL Bully from suffering.
An expert dog trainer who viewed the footage said Cox's behaviour was abusive and could potentially have made the XL Bully more aggressive.
The dog has now been seized and taken into police kennels.
