The Stratford Police Service was called yesterday afternoon when another person said they saw the 42-year old man beating the dog and tying it up near Romeo Street South and Park Street.
Witnesses say the man was repeatedly punching the dog and tying it up with a rope that was tangled around the dog’s body.
