THE RSPCA, police and Teignbridge Council’s dog wardens are investigating a ‘disturbing’ video of a dog attack which is being shared on social media.
The video, which we are not willing to share, appears to show an attack by two dogs on a greyhound.
Neighbours have reported the incident to the relevant authorities.
Kingsteignton Town Council said on social media: ‘We are aware of disturbing footage circulating on social media which appears to show dogs fighting on private property at a location in South Devon.
‘We are working with our partners including the Police and RSPCA in this matter.’
A spokesperson for the RSPCA confirmed it was being investigated but that the police were taking the lead on the matter.
A police spokesperson said: ‘We have been made aware of some disturbing footage circulating on social media which appears to show dogs fighting on private property at a location in South Devon.
‘We are working with our partners including the RSPCA on this matter.
