A cruel grandad stabbed a boy's puppy with a kitchen knife after it peed on his lounge carpet.
Raymond Yorath, 54, was furious with nine-month-old terrier Max and plunged the 12-inch blade into his side.
Police found the puppy, owned by Yorath's grandson Simon, 14, bleeding and with his intestines hanging out.
Vets managed to save Max after a two-hour operation. Yorath, of Cardiff, told police: "It's not even my dog. It pees on the carpet - it cost me £200."
At Cardiff magistrates' court yesterday, he pleaded guilty to causing suffering to an animal and was given a 10-week suspended jail sentence and a five-year pet ban.
Inspector Nicola Johnson, of the RSPCA, which has re-homed the puppy, said: "Max is extremely lucky to be alive. The knife somehow missed every vital organ."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
