Shocking CCTV footage shows moment thug brutally beats a German Shepherd

Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a thug brutally beat a German Shepherd before dragging it along the pavement, as RSPCA investigators hunt the attacker.

The cruel thug was seen kicking the dog to the head and body before roughly dragging it by its lead on Penyfan Road in Llanelli on August 29.

He then hung the defenceless animal on a fence by its lead as struggled to stand while the beating continued.

The violence only stopped when a brave passerby ran over to intervene and the man walked off with the dog.

But the beating was captured on CCTV by a nearby camera in Llanelli, West Wales, and footage handed to the RSPCA to investigate.

The RSPCA said the ‘distressing footage’ showed ‘the dog being kicked in the head and body, before being roughly pulled along by its lead.’

They added: ‘The dog then appears to be hung up on a fence and left struggling to stand on all fours, before being subjected to further violence.’

Welfare officers are seeking anyone who may recognise the man or have information to get in touch.

RSPCA inspector Keith Hogben said: ‘The level of violence being inflicted on this poor dog is very disturbing to see and I’m very worried about the welfare of this animal.
