Peter Toland was told he could face jail for causing unnecessary suffering to the dog called Luna.
A man has been found guilty of animal cruelty after a dog he had neglected and beaten had to be put down.
The only options were that Peter Toland or someone else had done this, the judge at Londonderry Magistrates' Court said.Up to 30 animal rights activists protested outside Bishop Street Courthouse, before Toland was convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to Luna and four further animal welfare charges relating to other animals.
Defence counsel Eoghan Devlin described Toland as a "terrible owner of animals" and said he would probably be banned from owning animals for life.District Judge Ted Magill said that for someone to bury an animal alive was "incomprehensible" and the only options were that Toland or someone else had done this.
