The drunken thug also mistook a cat for his missing pet after pursuing innocent victim to top of block of flats
A drunken thug became infuriated after losing his XL bully and chased a dog walker with a hammer before stealing his Pomeranian.
He then accused Mr Lane of being involved in the theft while swinging the weapon around. The complainant picked up Bonsai, "fearing either himself or his dog might be hurt", and retreated to the communal door of a nearby apartment block. He has a total of 13 convictions for 28 offences. Callum Ross, defending, told the court: "Clearly, the defendant knows the risk that he has put himself in by committing these offences.
"The court will have read about his heavy drinking over recent years. He recognises that that is a hugely negative aspect of his life."It may well be that the recognition of that misuse is the first step towards him moving forwards. He has reduced his intake recently of his own accord."
