A MAN has admitted punching, kicking and throwing a dog against a wall.
Clifford Fletcher, 36, of Belconnen Road, Bestwood Park, has now pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a Staffordshire bull terrier named Red.
He punched, kicked and threw the dog against a wall, causing reddening and bruising, Nottingham Magistrates' Court heard.
He also failed to seek treatment for Red, which had infected dermatitis, between April 3, 2011, and December 29, 2012.
Lack of food and water meant Red was in a poor condition.
Fletcher is on unconditional bail to attend his sentencing hearing on Tuesday, June 11.
