ReportI hope that the person who done this rots in hell - and even that would be too good for him. The type of person who can do this to a poor defenceless dog should not be allowed to walk the streets. The pain that the poor helpless dog endured does not even bear to think about. I hope they lock him up and throw away the key !!!
