A veterinary nurse was sacked after she repeatedly poisoned her own dog in a bid for attention.
Georgina Bretman, 28, injected her cocker spaniel, Florence, with a drug from the medicine cabinet that made her collapse and suffer convulsions and seizures.
The damage was so severe that the two-year-old dog could have ended up in a coma or even dead.
She brought the dog into the private practice where she worked on several separate occasions for emergency treatment.
