[release][B]A man is being sought after he was caught on CCTV appearing to dump a dog in Dorset.[/B]
The man is seen apparently taking the dog for a walk before he heads back to a car which drives off leaving the pet unable to catch up due to a limp.
The footage was taken on a camera at offices owned by British Marine Technology in Weymouth last Friday.
The council is trying to rehome the dog, named Ginger, and trying to find the man.
The footage shows him getting into a rear seat of the car, suggesting at least two other people were present at the time.
Ginger, a Shetland cross terrier and about eight years old, was collected by wardens from Weymouth and Portland Borough Council.

Ginger has been taken in by the council which is trying to rehome her[/QUOTE]
Ian Lewis, dog warden, said: "Her claws were overgrown to the extent they were digging into her pads, which was causing her to limp and pain.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the footage - this was a callous act and beyond belief.
"It may have been an old person's dog who had died and the new owners didn't want her or maybe someone thought she would cost lots in vets' bills.
"But she is in fine health, absolutely beautiful and has settled in really well.
"I have spoken to the RSPCA who said they will be seeking prosecution."
The maximum sentence for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal is six months in prison and a £20,000 fine.
The man seen on the CCTV is described as white, about 6ft tall, and he was wearing blue jeans and a brown top.
He was in a blue Kia Rio hatchback.[/release]
What is wrong with british people dumping animals, first a woman dumping a cat and now this?! WTF?! [highlight]*rage*[/highlight]

I thought this would happen, infact, I knew it would! I made a thread on this at the same time :saddowns:

The fuck is wrong with humans these days?
I literally want "Awww :C" when the dog ran up as the guy was reversing
Bastard.
How could you just drive off and leave that cute little face behind...

I'm sure they're on it, as we speak
human does x to y animal
internet gets pissed
That just broke my heart, because I have a dog roughly the same age, looks almost the same as that dog, and even (had) a limp due to a torn ligament :saddowns:
Personally I am not angry at the one who did it. No violence was done to dog, and it was found and is now going to get a new home.
Sure the owner did bad, but there's nothing that would even remotely deserve jail or "omgomg rip his guts out and then rape his corpse"
I like if a Human is killed no one here gives a fuck but if an animal dies everyone throws a shitstorm

I think that only happened in the cat thread.
Seriously, putting a cat in a bin for 15 hours got a lot more anger from Facepunch then someone [I]abandoning their injured dog[/I], and what makes it worse is that the dog probably was their pet for years.

I like how someone mentions this in every thread that is related to pets.
Oh Dorset. I thought it said the desert, and looked at the picture and he was on sand as well.

Yeah two people in the entire country dumped their animals what the fuck britian, lets nuke those basterds.
:downs:
He shouldn't be allowed to keep another pet ever again.
I'm pretty sure that's the normal punishment.
To be honest what he did is no worse than what's done all the time by dog dumpers, but seeing it in action just made it all the more tragic.
