Auckland charity appeals for help after report of dog abuse

An Auckland charity is desperately appealing for help from the public following a report of serious dog abuse at a park late last week. The animal, which was on a leash, was filmed at Wattle Downs South Park in Manurewa.The graphic video shows the dog being struck several times and is obviously injured before it is then thrown into the air by its owner. Christine Breen is the founder of Chained Dog Awareness. She was sent the disturbing video and is now calling for the public's help to track down the dog and its owner. Breen spoke to Lisa Owen.
