A man from Bristol has been convicted under the Animal Welfare Act after getting his pet bulldog drunk.

Unemployed chef Andrew Wilson, 31, admitted to beating his American bulldog Bronx and also forcing him to have a can of Stella Artois, reports The Sun.

When police found the animal, it was bleeding, unsteady on its feet and over the drink drive limit for a human.

Wilson was given 150 hours community service and is banned from keeping a warm-blooded mammal for a year.
