The neglected female dogs, who were 11 years old, were in poor body condition and had eye conditions, according to the RSPCA. Daisy was found to have likely starved to death, and she also had dental disease. The court heard the family had brought in the body of Daisy for cremation that day, saying she had passed away overnight. However, the vets were concerned about the animal’s poor body condition. A post-mortem on Daisy revealed she had no body fat at all and likely starved to death.
