- Hopefully he will get back to WHARE he rightfully belongs the apparent owner is stating on FB that he was stolen a year ago but doesn't seem to have reported him stolen or missing so glad he has not been handed back over as really everyone is unsure of who tied him up so wouldn't want him going back to potentially someone who harmed him xxx

- Apparently the owner went to collect him and the police/RSPCA have refused to give him back so far. Owner has some paper work (vet vaccination etc) saying he's hers but others are saying she have the dog away etc. at least the dog is being cared for until it's sorted out.

- Can this world get even more wicked! Thanks for not putting the actual picture of him tied up. Came up on my FB newsfeed last night and was the most shocking thing ever. Hope he has a lovely home and someone is missing him. x

- What a horrendous thing to do to any animal, thank goodness this poor dog was found,goodness knows what could have happened otherwise!! I sincerely hope no stone is left unturned in finding the evil sub-humans that did this. Shared on Lincolnshire Essex and Trent Boxer Rescue members forum. I hope a good home is found for this poor boy as soon as it is possible to do so and he doesn`t end up in kennels for months as evidence for any court case :-(

- Terrible isn't it. Why on earth should someone do that to a defenceless animal beats me, yet they do, day after day, all over the world. I'm ashamed to be human sometimes. Thank goodness he was found and is in safe hands. X

- Happiness these are cowardly scum that do this. An animal wouldn't torture another animal like this, I'm afraid it's only a sub human class that does this, and they aren't fit to walk on this earth. Probably the only way they could stop him from following them back home!!!!Last edited: 2014-09-02 18:44:26 by Me N My Girl - Administrative Volunteer

- A dog was found abandoned in a Norwich park with his legs all tied together and his collar bound up with string and household electrical cable.
He had then been tied to a post at Sloughbottom Park with cabling around his neck, leaving him unable to stand up or move.
Police from Mile Cross Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) are appealing for witnesses to the attack, which took place in the early hours of Saturday.
Police said that a member of the public found a brown and white boxer cross dog abandoned in the grounds, near to the skate park, just before 6am.
Officers looked after the dog at the scene and, once assisted by a vet, were able to help move him safely to start receiving treatment.
Upon examination he was found to be relatively healthy and around four-years-old. However, he did appear to be suffering discomfort and pain from being tied up.
The dog was not micro chipped and did not have any identification tags.
PC Craig Bidwell, from Mile Cross SNT, has appealed for information or witnesses.
He said: “Attacking a dog in this way is completely unacceptable and I would urge anyone who has information about the incident to contact me.
“Officers will be working with inspectors from the RSPCA to find the person responsible and take action.”
Staff at the RSPCA, who are currently caring for him, have nicknamed him ‘Spencer’.
RSPCA inspector Laura Sayer said: “Poor Spencer was traumatised from this horrible ordeal but luckily not hurt.
“He is a lovely dog, and has clearly been well looked after, so it might even be that there is a loving owner out there missing him. We urge anyone with any information to come forward.
“We are very grateful to this passing member of the public and to the police for rescuing him. There is no way he would have been able to escape the tangle of ropes which held him on his own - apparently he was completely hog-tied.”
PC Bidwell can be contacted on 101. Anyone with any information about who ‘Spencer’ might belong to should contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
