The Benoni SPCA confiscated a seven-month-old pit bull terrier from a home in Wattville recently.
The puppy had sustained wounds from being involved in a fight with three other dogs and was left untreated for five days.
Vicky Finnemore, manager of the Benoni SPCA, said the dog was rushed to a local vet where it was stitched up and treated for infection.

“We do not believe this was a case of deliberate dog fighting; however, the dog was neglected after being injured, which is still a criminal offence.
“He is now recovering nicely at the Benoni SPCA,” she said
