A sick thug caught on camera beating his dog before grabbing the terrified pet and throwing it 5ft into the air has been banned from keeping animals.
Furious owner Carlton James Chesney-Mitchell from Manchester lost his temper with Belgian Malinois Annie, screaming at it to ‘stop p***ing me off’ before kicking the dog in the face, launching it into the air.
And he has now paid for his violent and ‘shocking’ actions after being sentenced for causing unnecessary suffering to the dog.
Chesney-Mitchell was caught after video footage was provided showing him raging at the dog in June last year.
The dark and grainy footage shows the 21-year-old cycling into a yard with the dog before she irks him and he kicks her full in the face.
He then calls her back, kicks Annie again and grabs the dog before hurling her into the air.

The RSPCA were alerted to footage of the incident, taken at a property in Manchester, which was posted on Facebook.

The video, recorded by a Ring camera, shows a Chesney-Mitchell wearing dark trousers, a blue hoodie and a black balaclava cycling towards an open garden from a field.
He then throws the bike down and can be heard shouting ‘come here’.
A brindle dog comes into the footage and the 21-year-old yob kicks the left side of her face with his right leg.
He then entices the dog back and smashes her again on the left side of her face.
He is then heard saying: ‘Stop pi**ing me off and f***ing running off, stop it’ before striking Annie twice with his right hand and grabbing her by the neck with both hands and throwing her in the air.
Annie spins in midair before landing on her feet and running out onto the field.
The male can be heard stating ‘F***ing piece of s**t’, as he mounts his bicycle and cycles off.
RSPCA Inspector Deborah Beats, who investigated, immediately sent the footage to a vet at the RSPCA Manchester Animal Hospital in Salford who confirmed the dog had been caused to suffer during the attack.
Insp Beats said: ‘I reached out to those on social media who had information on this video and after a false start, I was able to speak to a member of the public who informed me the dog and the owner were at their house.
‘I met Chesney-Mitchell at the member of the public’s address along with his two year old Belgian Malinois Annie.
‘After interviewing the owner, I took Annie to be checked over by a vet where thankfully it was found that she didn’t have any injuries.’

The court heard how a vet report stated that Annie was very nervous on examination.
It found she would have suffered physically momentarily during the kicking, throwing and hitting episodes captured in the footage, however, the emotional impact may have a life-long effect.
The report continued: ‘This is shown with Annie’s fear behaviours such as cowering away from the person in the video before the second kick and cowering when her head was approached for examination.
‘These fear behaviours along with being constantly shouted at would have caused her mental suffering.
‘It is likely Annie will have been in pain for several days after this incident and will have suffered at the very least mild soft tissue injuries.
‘This will have caused discomfort when trying to walk and display normal behaviours such as playing.
‘In the video presented I can identify that the person of interest inflicts harm on Annie on at least five occasions in the form of kicking, hitting and throwing.
‘They caused unnecessary suffering on multiple accounts by inflicting pain on Annie.
‘There was no reasonable explanation for the outbursts on her visible within the video footage, as Annie was not inflicting harm on the person in question or anyone else.’
Chesney-Mitchell was sentenced at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on February 21 for causing unnecessary suffering to Annie.
He was disqualified from keeping dogs for two years and was ordered to carry out a 12-month community order which includes 20 rehabilitation activity requirement days.

He was also ordered to carry out a further 100 hours of unpaid work, to pay £200 in costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
A deprivation order was also imposed for Annie meaning she can now be rehomed by the RSPCA.
Insp Beats added: ‘This was a shocking and completely unnecessary attack on this poor dog.
‘I’m glad this case has concluded and Annie can now find the loving forever home she deserves.’
