- The incident took place in Birmingham while the innocent dog walker was going about her daily business.
A bully who was caught on camera kicking a small dog in the head could be jailed after admitting animal cruelty.
Taylor Thompson, 27, was sitting in a car in his driveway and honked his horn as a dog walker briefly stopped outside his property, yelling, “Move your damn dog.”
A court heard that a female dog owner had been innocently walking her dog down the street in the Kitts Green area of Birmingham on June 17.
Even though the woman and her pet were not in the driveway, Thompson got out of his red car and walked toward them.

The distraught woman bends down to tend to the injured animal, which continues to scream for several seconds as Thompson returns to his car and drives away.
The footage, obtained by blog Birmz is Grime, sparked outrage after being posted on social media, prompting West Midlands Police to launch an investigation.
Police identified Thompson and arrested him at his home in Kitts Green before officers racially abused him as they took him into custody.
He pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on September 9.

Thompson was also charged with possession of class B drugs, two counts of using threatening language and behaviour and two counts of racial harassment.
He will be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on October 7.
Detective Sergeant Peta Haynes, of Birmingham Police, said: ‘This case understandably caused outrage when the video was shared on social media, and officers were able to quickly identify the offender and bring him before the court.
‘This was a truly traumatic incident for the woman, who was simply walking her dog when Thompson verbally abused her dog and kicked it in an unprovoked attack.
‘Thompson also subjected our officers to racial abuse while in custody.
‘Our officers risk their lives every day to protect our communities and to receive this level of abuse is simply unacceptable.
“This should send a strong message to people that this type of behaviour is not acceptable and that action will be taken.”
