Sam Gordon A DOG owner who ordered his Rhodesian Ridgebacks to attack their victim again when they had just bitten him has been jailed. Sam Gordon set the animals on Cordell Roberts after they had already sunk their teeth into him in front of horrified witnesses on Newport’s Commercial Road. Prosecutor Thomas Stanway played dramatic CCTV footage capturing the shocking incident as he opened his case. Cardiff Crown Court was shown Sam Gordon then whipping Mr Roberts with a dog lead after he’d jumped on top of a car to escape the beasts. Mr Stanway explained how the victim had been attacked by the dogs on June 8, 2020, after he was shopping at Lifestyle Express on Commercial Road.
