A puppy found dead near Halifax has suffered appalling injuries - thought to have been caused by dog-fighting. The Akita-type is believed to have been about eight months old.
The black and white dog was found by a member of the public near Halifax on February 13 and taken to a veterinary practice in the town later that morning. Due to the extent of his injuries, the RSPCA was contacted and the charity is now investigating the circumstances and appealing for people with information to come forward.
Around 50 puncture wounds were visible on the puppy's body and he also had a large injury to one ear. It's not known how long he had been deceased before he was found. Dog fighting was outlawed in England in 1835 but sadly, still goes on today.
