Hows this to make your blood boil?? : :

AN 18-month-old puppy is recovering from a fractured skull and a dislodged eye after what his owner described as a“vicious and unprovoked” attack this week.

Leslie Rennie said he was left “disgusted” following the incident in which his bull mastiff/staffy terrier, Jack, was beaten about the head at his Midvale home on Tuesday morning.

Mr Rennie, who was at work at the time of the incident, said his dog had been in his yard when the attack occurred.

“It looks like someone has walked past the house, seen Jack, and just belted him on the head,” he said.

“It appears as if some metal object has struck him in the head, perhaps a metal star picket.

“It would have been completely unprovoked because Jack is not an aggressive dog by any stretch – he’s a timid dog who runs away from people.

“It’s obviously someone who has got no regard for life or animals at all, and I’m totally disgusted at their behaviour.”

The incident left Jack with his eye dangling from its socket and a gash from the top of his head to the bridge of his nose.

Mr Rennie said major arteries had been severed behind Jack’s eye and there were now doubts about whether it would fully function again.

The 37-year-old said he had been shocked by the brazen nature of the attack.

“I’m totally gutted – it’s just a tragic thing that has happened to this poor dog,” he said.

“He’s my companion and he’s absolute gold to me. It’s just a horrible thing for him to have to go through.”

Police and RSPCA officers are investigating the attack.
