A 28-year old veterinary nurse, Georgina Bretman has been arraigned for poisoning her pet dog in a bid to get attention.

Georgina is reported to have repeatedly injected her cocker spaniel, Florence, with insulin that caused the dog to collapse and have seizures leading to death.

She was found guilty of causing the dog unnecessary suffering and may be slammed with £20,000 fine or up to a year in jail as judge decides next month.
