Dog used as a football

The King Country SPCA needs volunteers to assist in the busy summer period.

One of its newest arrivals who would benefit from extra help is an eight week old puppy who was used as a football on Boxing day. A member of the public who saw the puppy being kicked and stood on by a group of boys, rescued the animal and handed it over to the SPCA. The SPCA is investigating the incident says inspector Rachel Brown.
