The appeal was allowed and Jones and her partner John Nesbitt, 62 -who was also cleared of the same conviction - will be reunited withtheir pet. Prosecutor Clifford Howard told the first hearing at Exetermagistrates court: 'Both of them accepted that the dog called Jesswas thrown into the sea by them. 'However they claimed they were cooling her down because she washot.' He said they denied causing the dog any suffering by their actions.Mr Howard said each of then threw the dog from the slipway. He said beneath the water was a concrete slipway but said thecouple would not know how shallow the water was at the point.
The prosecutor said the first photos showed Mr Nesbitt throwingJess into the sea after holding her in his arms. The second batch showed Jones holding Jess before launching herinto the sea and the dog ‘hitting the water'. Mr Howard said Jess would have been in danger of hitting theconcrete base of the slipway. Mr Clews, who took the pictures, said: 'The male picked up the dogand chucked it into the sea.
It went into the sea and got back out. 'Then the woman picked it up and she chucked it in the sea. I sawthe dog hit the water.' Jones told the magistrates: 'I am so angry. I know the sea like theback of my hand.
I just want my baby back.' Jones initially told police 'she was just going in for a swim - towetten her'. Four year old Jess was unhurt but a vet said she could have beeninjured as she twisted face first into the shallow water and thebase of the concetre slipway. Jones said: 'All my dogs go into the sea. The water was clear, itwas not dangerous. It was a lovely hot day in April.
I would gladlydo it again. 'Whoosh, she goes to the bottom and up she comes. She is 18 inchestall and shakes herself off. 'She swims out of the sea - doggy paddles.
It wasn't thatshallow, the tide was coming in. I just plopped her in.' Nesbitt said they both threw her in twice and he said Jess flew a‘few feet' in the air into the sea and called them‘little dips in the sea'. Defence lawyer Jeremy Tricks said: 'Linda Jones handling of the dogwas foolish.' But he argued that they did not cause Jess unnecessary sufferingbecause dogs are 'resiliant animals'. The magistrates had imposed a 12 week jail term suspended for twoyears and a 10 year old animal ban after convicting them of causingunnecessary suffering to the black and tan terrier.
