A dad has been branded "stupid", after left his family's two dogs dying in his baking hot car - and then buried their bodies in a field.
Julian Bradbury left West Highland Terriers Ted and Poppy inside for nearly an hour and 20 minutes in 26C temperatures on the day of England's World Cup semi-final on July 11 this year.
He said he simply forgot the animals - described as "family members" at Birmingham Magistrates Court - were in the car.
CCTV footage shown during Wednesday's hearing showed Bradbury, wearing an England football shirt, returning to his vehicle at 4.42pm - some 78 minutes after parking up near his home.
