John Delaney, who was caught mercilessly kicking his cattle dog in an elevator back in April on a closed circuit television video, pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty this week in front of Magistrate Greg Grogin in NSW Australia reported the DailyTelegraph.com.au.

Authorities from the RSPCA were able to obtain a search warrant and seized the dog named Rusty from Delaney's apartment.

Delaney's girlfriend was fined $500 and also banned from owning pets for the next two years for failing to get Rusty veterinarian treatment for a severe flea infestation.
