An animal welfare charity is appealing for information after it was sent a sickening video showing a thug kick a dog in an unprovoked attack.
The clip shows two young men playing fetch with a staffie at Inchrya Park in Grangemouth on July 25.
A member of the public started filming the pair after the tan-coloured dog was allegedly struck across the snout for no reason.
One of the men can be seen tossing the ball in the footage before striding over to kick the staffie, sending it flying across the grass.
The Scottish SPCA is now looking to identify the two men in the video.
SSPCA inspector Nicola Liddell said: “We’ve been looking in to this since it was first reported in July, but it is difficult to identify the men from the quality of the video. We are hoping the general public can help us identify either of the men and the dog so that we can progress our investigation .
“It is plain to see from the man’s movement towards the dog that he knew exactly what he was doing in the lead-up to kicking it. He took a full-blown volley at the poor thing. No animal deserves to be treated in such a way and we would like to speak with either of the men involved.”
A spokesperson added: "If you have any information which could aid the Scottish SPCA’s investigation, call the charity’s confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
