He seems a little confused about the meaning of the word fasting.
LOL, What I meant to say was that Muslims think that dogs are unclean.
Though I laughed up a storm reading this ludicrous tale, I didn't believe it, so searched on Dogpile.
The Wales National News Site, the BBC, and Sky News ALL had it also, and with even more sad detail.
God bless the homeowner who became suspicious, so decided to "walk his dog", to get a closer [even said hello to the perp!] look, then reported it.
From wikipedia:
"Eating, drinking, sexual intercourse and smoking are not allowed between dawn (fajr), and sunset (maghrib). During Ramadan, Muslims are also expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam as well as refraining from anger, envy, greed, lust, sarcastic retorts, backstabbing and gossip."
The irony is that if he'd stolen property in an islamic country they would have cut off his hand instead of giving him two months in jail.
