The footage that helped jail vile pet abuser: Thug caught punching a puppy in the head and throwing another dog across the road is jailed after video goes viral

These are the harrowing viral images that helped jail a vicious pet abuser who furiously beat his defenseless 12-week-old puppy.

28-year-old Tyler Steele sparked national outrage after he was filmed punching a 12-week-old XL Bully in the street in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

As the vicious animal abuser furiously yanked on Bo’s leash, terrified dog cries of pain could be heard on Proudlock Avenue in Stoke-on-Trent on July 7, 2023.

You can hear the mean boy say, “I don’t want it anymore.” He can fuck off as he attacked the puppy mercilessly.

The 28-year-old was also caught on separate footage grabbing a French bulldog by the scruff of the neck and throwing the startled pet into the air from a parked car.

Tyler Steele sparked outrage after he was caught on doorbell camera hitting a 12-week-old XL Bully for disobeying him

Vile dog owner Tyler Steele, who was filmed repeatedly hitting a puppy on the head and throwing another small dog across the street, has been jailed for 18 weeks.

The separate incident, which took place on May 2, 2023, was filmed a mile away from the second beating.

Steele, from Stoke-on-Trent, pleaded guilty to two charges of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.

He was given an 18-week prison sentence on Monday and banned from keeping animals at the North Staffordshire Justice Center for five years.

After being shamed on social media, Steele later returned to the property where the footage was filmed and blatantly declared that he “didn’t give a fuck about the video.”

He said: ‘I told everyone it was me. I don’t give two flying f***s. I treat my dog ​​the way I want to treat him.”

A couple called Ashley Salmon and Megan Dawson sold Steele the puppy for £1,000 just days before the disturbing images emerged.

The pair later demanded poor Bo’s return after witnessing the gruesome video on social media.

In July 2023, Mr Salmon said, he was now caring for Bo after Steele violently yanked Bo’s leash and hit her on the head.

After the ordeal, Bo had been seen by a vet who found her to be in good health apart from mild swelling just above a bloodshot left eye.

Mr Salmon said at the time: “I spent an hour with Tyler about two weeks ago when he came to me about purchasing Bo. She is one of three puppies for sale.

“From the interactions I had with Tyler, there was no reason for me to suspect that he would treat Bo the way he did. He said he had more bulldogs and wanted an XL Bully.

‘He handed over £1,000 in cash and took her away. But when I saw that video of him repeatedly punching her in the head, I felt disgusted.

‘She hadn’t even been with him a week, and he did that to her. I contacted him on Facebook and told him I wanted Bo back.

‘He initially said he didn’t want to part with her because she was his pet and he loved her, but I snapped back that he couldn’t love her that much if he was willing to beat her senseless.

‘Only after I offered him his money back did he agree to meet me again and return Bo to me. But he didn’t want to talk about what he did. He’s a coward, he just wanted the money back.

‘Bo will now be staying with us as our family pet. I can’t trust anyone else to take good care of her.

However, the disturbing images aren’t the only time Steele has exhibited shocking behavior towards animals

‘We had her examined by the vet because she had a bloodshot left eye and a slight lump above the eye socket, but she is much better now. She is cheerful.

“But no dog is safe with Tyler. He should never be allowed to own an animal again.”

After the trial, Sergeant Chris Gifford, of Staffordshire Police’s Stoke North team, said: ‘I welcome the sentence imposed on Steele and the fact that he has been banned from keeping animals for five years.

“This case sends a clear message that we will take action against animal cruelty.”

A spokesperson for the RSPCA said: ‘This was a deeply disturbing case and we were pleased to be able to assist Staffordshire Police, strengthening our partnership.

“We are grateful to people who report suspected animal suffering as we strive to make the world a better place for all species.”
