The RSPCA are hunting a cruel thug after a dead dog was handed into vets inside a shopping bag with multiple 'horrific' stab wounds. The female pooch was brought to the PDSA Pet Hospital in Oldbury, West Midlands, wrapped in a blood-drenched sheet and a B&M shopping bag on March 29.
Horrified vets found her covered in fresh, deep knife wounds all over her head and body as well as fractures to her ribs, skull and muzzle. There were also numerous areas of bruising, including severe trauma to the abdomen resulting in the rupture of her intestines.
The RSPCA said the bull-type breed was subjected to a "ferocious and sustained attack" which had left her "horrifically mutilated". The animal charity revealed the dog was brought to the clinic by a man who claimed the dead pet had been hit by a car - but he left before leaving his name or details.
