Tiggy Left For D.ead, ‘Worst Pet Case In 15 Years’ – Now She’s A Beautiful Dog Again


One of the worst cases of animal cruelty that investigators have ever encountered included a sick couple who starved their Lurcher puppy to d.eath.

Three-year-old Tiggy was allegedly found abandoned on the side of the road by Kerry Patterson, 35, and Reece Milburn, 30, who then reported him to their local council.

In Blyth, Northumberland, an animal protection officer visited them and said the animal was in “the worst incident he’d seen in his 15 years on the job.”

Tiggy was depicted as having almost little fur on her body and showing ribs that protruded from her lean torso.

Additionally, she was severely dehydrated, had rashes and a mite infestation, and was so weak that she was unable to stand.

Days before Christmas in 2023, Tiggy was found, and when her sorrowful photos went viral, Northumberland County Council launched an appeal to find her owners.

Several days later, the council was inundated with letters claiming Tiggy belonged to Patterson and Milburn.

The couple admitted to causing unneeded pain to a protected species when they appeared in court on Thursday, March 3.

Additionally, they acknowledged to forgetting to take care of their Staffordshire Bull Terrier, their second dog.

A terrier named Enzo has a skin condition and a mite infestation.

They were each ordered to pay a victim cost of £120 and received a 12-week prison sentence as well as a lifetime ban on owning or caring for animals.

It was “one of the most heinous and high-profile acts of animal cruelty the county has ever seen,” said Philip Soderquest, a representative for the council.

He continued, “Our animal welfare team works tirelessly to look into cases of animal neglect and abuse and bring offenders to justice.”

The lawyer claims, “We were adamant that Tiggy’s former owners would get their day in court, and even though it took two years, we finally got the result we needed today.”

Thanks to the dedication of the staff at Berwick Animal Rescue Center, Tiggy’s story had a happy ending.

She has a new home, a new life with dog friends, and even a new name. She is the picture of health and happiness.

Enzo, the other dog owned by the couple, is still in kennels and looking for a home.
