Horrific images show a dog's snout after it was chopped off by a drunken man who said he did it "for fun" in a cruel act of animal abuse.
Terrifying pictures have surfaced online showing a poor pup roaming the streets of Sabah, Malaysia.
One image shows the dog with the bare flesh of its mouth completely exposed.
Another reveals the front of its snout lying on the grass, visibly showing the dog's nose and front teeth.
Local reports say the man committed the horrific act "for fun" after the dog came to him begging for food.
The dog is now being looked after the Malaysian Animal Association, but vets have recommended the animal be put down to end its suffering.
Police are on the hunt for the man who committed the sick act, but have yet to find the perpetrator.
Authorities are offering a a Daelim History S125 motorbike - worth £1,890 - to anyone who can identify the culprit.
Arie Dwi Andika, president of the Malaysian Animal Association said: “We want the culprit to be caught, charged and sentenced according to Sabah’s animal welfare enactment.
“We here in the Peninsular cannot intervene as Sabah and Sarawak have their own enactment."
Malaysia has implemented an animal welfare law in 1953, but it has been widely criticised for being weak and under-enforced.
In 2015, the country updated in animal welfare law strengthening protections for animals and several penalties for animal cruelty.
