MARK NOBLE FROM WHITFIELD FACES COURT AFTER DOG ATTACK IN DUNDEE

In a disturbing incident that took place in Dundee, Mark Noble, a resident of Whitfield, was brought before the court following an assault involving a young dog. Born on January 3, 1983, Noble was found guilty of throwing a child's bicycle at a dog, which resulted in injuries to the animal's head and body. The incident occurred at his residence located at 10 Baxter Park Glebe, Dundee DD4 6PD.

According to court records, Noble admitted to attacking the dog, a one-year-old golden Labrador named Clover. The attack was severe enough to warrant legal action, and Noble pleaded guilty to the charges. Despite the seriousness of the offense, he was only subjected to a modest financial penalty, being fined £360. The court did not impose a ban on him owning animals, and it remains unclear whether Clover remains in his care or has been removed from his custody.

Alongside Noble, his partner Kimberly Finnan was also involved in the incident. Born on August 6, 1991, Finnan resides at 2 Whitfield Rise, Dundee DD4 0BQ. She faced charges of attacking Clover as well, which included repeatedly striking the dog on the head and body, grabbing her by the collar, and kicking her multiple times. However, Finnan entered a plea of not guilty, and her plea was accepted by the court. The Crown did not find sufficient grounds to pursue her charges further.

The court's decision resulted in Noble being fined, but no further restrictions were placed on him regarding animal ownership. The case highlights ongoing concerns about animal cruelty in the Dundee area, particularly in the Whitfield neighborhood, where the incident took place. The community and animal welfare advocates continue to call for stricter penalties and more vigilant enforcement to prevent such acts of cruelty in the future.
