Lisa Leach failed to provide adequate care for a 15-year-old Labrador named Lucas, leaving him in an emaciated state in a dirty garden filled with rubbish, dog faeces, and brown sludge. The dog was found struggling to stand, with a body condition score of one out of nine, and had to be euthanised due to his poor health. The offences occurred between November 22, 2023, and December 8, 2023.
