The hunt is on to find an animal abuser who was spotted beating up a puppy in the Victoria Road area of Formby.
Witnesses say the man proceeded to pick the puppy up by the harness then threw it on to the floor before punching it on the top of the head.
The puppy squealed then cowered with its tail between its legs. This was in front of a queue of cars waiting to go into the pinewoods.
One witnesses said “I screamed at him but he hurried off into the pinewoods.
I told the park trust workers who seemed not bothered in the slightest because they hadn’t seen it themselves, even though I had two witnesses who said they seen the abuse. I then found him by the ice cream van with two other people and the dog (who was desperately trying to escape whenever he came near it. I confronted him again and asked why he did it but he said he wasn’t arsed. I rang the police who told me to ring the rspca. I gave them all the details but doubt they will catch him. The poor dog was no older than 6 months.“
