And the RSPCA should ring you back and let you know what happened ... if they don't then pester them cos they won't have gone out  We had something similar at the Hall where I do the dog training, a flat coat retriever came out of the house next door to the Hall and one of the class captured it before it ran onto the road, the bloke came out of the house and the dog threw itself on the floor and peed then the bloke dragged it using its collar back into the garden I was told so we reported it to the RSPCA .. they went round and spoke to the bloke who apologised but was told he would be watched and any other reports would be taken very seriously .. every time we've seen the dog since and him with the dog it's been OK, not submissive and he's been handling it OK too ... lots of us live locally so often drive past the Hall and house so have seen him regularly ... got to be worth reporting it.

I think you should report it. These things really bother me -someone who beats a dog is pretty likely to beat anyone else they live with. The police might give you some advice if you think the RSPCA won't respond.

I had a phone call from an RSPCA inspector who has visited the property. (yes, pick yourselves up from the floor, they did actually go round!  ) She said that the man strenuously denies having done any such thing (of course) and seeing as it's my word against his they can't take any further action. She did say that she interacted with the dog and didn't see any signs of abuse, stress, or submissive behaviour, so we can only hope it was a 'one off'.  I hope that is the case, but I will be back on the phone to them in a flash if I'm given reason to think otherwise! |

Hopefully, just having a visit from them may have give him a shock and he will be more careful.
You have done as much as you can to help the dog.

It would a lot easier to walk away and forget, but like you I would have said something,there is so much cruelty about and think that is is getting worse for animals and people so good on you for doing the right thing.

You absolutely did the right thing. I never understand the one persons word against another legal argument  Don't they realise? Why would a member of the public, with no connection or axe to grind with these people go to the trouble of reporting an incident if it were not true Maryx |

You so did the right thing. Hopefully this will shock him into behaving appropriately.

Why would a member of the public, with no connection or axe to grind with these people go to the trouble of reporting an incident if it were not true Maryx Mary, Someone around here did just that, maliciously reporting me for having two dogs and leaving one outside all day and night without shelter....yeah right...he's a greyhound ffs....he'd scream the place down if I as much as dared shut the door on him for a millisecond. Anyway, RSPCA inspector visited, and is satisfied that both dogs are spoiled rotten. I think Sarah did exactly the right thing and at least the guy should be looking over his shoulder next time he loses his temper and tries to take it out on the poor dog. |
