A poor pup was left petrified of all men after a shocking attack by a brute owner.

The tiny Spaniel – called Bella – was left so scared she would wee in fear if ever she saw any bloke.

She was dragged along on her lead, then lifted up and left hanging in the air.

He then pushed her into a door, and she could be heard making high-pitched meows.

The harrowing attack was captured on a doorbell camera.

Poor Bella was just 12 weeks old at the time.

She was taken in by the RSPCA after the beating and thankfully now has new owners.

Dave and Jasmine Carpenter, of Gloucester, have taken her in.

He said, “I just absolutely fell in love with her. She was very fearful at first, but I could see such nice potential in her.

“Despite what she had been through, she had that loving streak from the get-go, but she was very fearful of men.

“If she saw a man, she would just squat and pee in fear.

“She seemed to take to me quickly, though.”

Bella had been looked after at RSPCA’s Newbrook Animal Hospital in Birmingham, as reported on Need To Know.

Inspector Fiona Howell said, “My heart broke for Bella when I saw her.

“Knowing how she had been treated, I just wanted to get her out as quickly as possible.

“She was so timid, but you could tell she was trying to appease people and wanted someone to be her friend.”

Kennel manager Dave said Bella is now inseparable from their sprocker spaniel Piper.

He added: “The two are inseparable now and forever by each other’s side.

“Bella has learnt a lot from Piper; she really looks up to her.”
