the rspca are appealing for information after a dog was thrown into the Leeds
and Liverpool Canal in Accrington with a weighted-down rucksack tied to
him. The rough-haired terrier was found floating face-down under the
bridge on Burnley Road (A678), near to Moorfield Way, Clayton Le Moors
on Monday 2 August 2010.
The dog was micro-chipped which lead the
RSPCA to his owners."They had put him outside in the garden at around
7am that morning. Naturally they’re very upset about what’s happened,”
said inspector Barr. The dog was called ‘Freddie’ and was just 18-months
old. He’s described as mostly black, with a white stomach and tan
patches on his face and legs. The rucksack was purple with black straps
and a red ‘Head’ logo on it.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious or has any information that could help should call the RSPCA cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.
Inspector
Barr added: “We don’t want them to get away with this. This dog has
suffered an awful death and someone is responsible for that. Please, if
you think you can help, call us.”
