Kyle Voissem, 21, faces up to three years in prison for the attack.

Judge James Obbish this week found him guilty of animal cruelty to the 18-month-old dog, after a two-day bench trial.

The court heard Voissem was busted after giving his pet to the the Anti-Cruelty Society so he could be treated.

The Society called for charges to be filed against the student and he was arrested in December 2011.
