He was wearing a navy hoodie at the time of the incident. From the enquiries we have already carried out, we believe he is local to the area.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dog he had with him is a black and white collie and appeared to be relatively young from the video footage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the incident in question, the man ties the collie up outside the shop and goes inside. Almost immediately afterwards he runs out of the shop and slaps the dog three times, causing them to cower and fall on their side.<\/p>\n<article class=\"align-center media media--type-image media--view-mode-full\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-visually_hidden\">\n<div class=\"field__label visually-hidden\">Image<\/div>\n<div class=\"field__item\">  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/full_content\/public\/2023-10\/CCTV%20three.png?itok=_xE954Bd\" width=\"570\" height=\"520\" alt=\"man hitting collie\" typeof=\"foaf:Image\" class=\"img-fluid\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>\u201cWhen confronted by a passer-by the man claimed the dog was chewing their lead and this was the reason he was hitting the animal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe man goes back into the shop and when he returns to untie the collie they are still visibly frightened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo animal should be subjected to physical violence and this is not the correct way to train any animal displaying unwanted behaviour.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would urge anyone who recognises this man to contact our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
