Christopher Griffiths, 35, has been jailed for 24 weeks for the attack on his Staffordshire pit bull terrier named Victor.
Six months??? That's it???
Police found the distressed pet after Griffiths claimed he had been attacked in his home in Wrexham last September.
Judge Gwyn Jones said at the town’s magistrates court: “You ignored the obvious pain Victor was in. It was planned because you drugged the dog in advance.”
“Removing the ears would have taken a considerable amount of force.”
RSPCA inspector Kia Thomas said "When I first saw Victor I was just so shocked as his ears were gaping open wounds. I had never seen anything quite like it before.
"It was just so heart-breaking. It is awful to imagine what poor Victor went through. It was totally unnecessary.”
Following the attack Griffiths was told to hand in his two off staffs, Ned and Brandy, to the RSPCA.
Evidence of cocaine in the pup's system was picked up in a urine test.
Officers reported the dog to be remarkably placid given the extent of his injuries.
Griffiths was also banned from owning dogs for ten years.
