(SYDENHAM TWP, ON) – Grey County OPP is investigating an incident of animal cruelty that took place at 11:34 am, on October 12th, 2010 along Concession 1 in Sydenham Township.
A light blue vehicle, possibly an SUV, stopped on Concession 1 and called out to a dog that was wandering along the edge of the road. As the dog walked over, a female got out of the vehicle and started beating the dog with what appeared to be a leather strap or a belt. The beating continued until the dog collapsed on the road, and then a male got out of the vehicle and began kicking the motionless animal. The couple continued the abuse until a bystander yelled out that police were being called. The dog was loaded into their vehicle and they left travelling along Concession 1 towards Walters Falls.
The dog is described as a German Shepherd, around a year old, with a wide blue collar and quite friendly.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Grey County OPP or Crime Stoppers.
