John Poole of Paterson Street, Ayr, appeared at Ayr Sheriff Court last week 
He admitted punching and kicking the dog, called Biscuit, on the head and body.

Poole then threw the animal against a wall and in front of oncoming traffic on Saturday, January 27. 

The 42-year-old also behaved in an abusive manner, when he shouted and swore at police and uttered threats of violence towards him. 

Poole has been remanded in custody. He will be sentenced later this month.
