Telford magistrates adjourned the case to December 18. The 23-year-old appeared at Telford Magistrates Court and spoke only to confirm his name and address. Bailey is also accused of dragging the dog by its lead over a long distance, kicking it a number of times and punching it to the head.
Magistrates adjourned the case for a psychiatric report to be prepared determining Bailey's fitness to plead.
