Animal rights campaigners applauded as two men were jailed in connection with a savage attack on a family’s pet dog in the North.

Andrew Richard Stewart, who admitted setting fire to the pet two years ago, was handed a 20-month sentence at Belfast Crown Court, 10 months of which will be served in custody with the remaining 10 on licence.
