Poor, poor dog   How horrific.

Without CCTV, I doubt we'll know exactly what happened... but if the article is correct about what is thought to have happened to the poor dog, I hope the perpetrator(s) suffer a similar fate.

 

Many years ago, my now ex decided to take my Rotti Woosie for a walk up to the bakery to get some cinnamon donuts to have for breakfast. The silly fellow hooked her lead to an A-frame sign outside the shop as he went in to get the donuts, and she moved and the A-frame made a scraping noise which scared her. She decided to hightail it home in fright, A-frame sign still attached, with the ex tearing off after her trying to get her to stop... no chance, she was heading home to mummy to save her, and arrived home with the sign still attached. Guess who got all the donuts that morning, as the ex had to take the sign back to the shop and apologise...

 

I'm hoping that maybe the dog in the article wasn't actually set upon by anyone, but instead possibly got spooked and maybe hurt itself trying to get away. It's not beyond the realms of possibility.
