Old pet used as dog bait

An elderly dog is recovering at Wellington SPCA after he was deliberately set on by two pit bulls yesterday in Porirua.

At midday, Lincoln, a 14-year-old ridgeback cross, was attacked by the pit bulls in Whitireia Park.

Lincoln was stolen from his Titahi Bay home early on Monday morning and it appeared he was taken to be used as a bait dog, SPCA animal welfare inspector Ben Lakomy said.

A witness who rang police said the two pit bulls were let off their chains and set on Lincoln.

$1000 SPCA reward for info on devastating attack on elderly dog

The SPCA is putting up a $1000 reward for anyone with information leading to the arrest of four men involved in the mauling of an elderly dog.

The fourteen-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback cross - Lincoln - was stolen from Wellington's Titahi Bay on Monday and used as a bait-dog in a fight.

A witness says when he bit back a man tried to break his legs by pulling them apart.

SPCA spokeswoman, Lisa Snow, says they need help from the public to get to the bottom of the devastating crime.
