RSPCA investigate sick Facebook clip showing man 'slapping dog in the face'

Sickening footage showing a man slap a dog around the face has sparked a UK-wide manhunt.

The RSCPA is desperately trying to track down the man from the 30-second clip, which has circulated across social media sites like Facebook this month.

As reported in the Mirror , the charity suspects the incident occurred somewhere in Britain but is appealing for help to locate the individual.

In the footage, the man exits his car and walks to a black pick-up truck where two Bordeaux mastiffs were sitting in the back.

One of them can be seen poking its head out of the window and looking at the man who puts out his hand and appears to give them food.

The dog stares for a moment and the man suddenly slaps the animal in the head. It barks in return and a second Bordeaux mastiff emerges.

The man is described as white, with fair hair.

 RSPCA investigators believe number plates belonging to passing cars in the footage mean the incident happened in Britain.

If you know where this incident took place or has any information as to the man's identity call the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
