Animal abuse witnessed in Hyde Park

Desiree Driver writes: On Monday this week, I witnessed a terrible thing on 1st Road, Hyde Park.

A young male gardener was walking an elderly Beagle dog and yanking the leash so hard every time this old dog tried to urinate. He was pulling the dog so hard by the leash attached to a collar around her neck that he almost dragged her.

I stopped my car to ask him to please stop hurting the dog. He at first ignored me and then told me that “it’s not your dog!” I was very upset and I hope that by publishing my letter, the owners of this poor dog can be notified. The gardener probably walks her often and I believe he probably treats her like this all the time! This is unacceptable behaviour towards animals!
