A woman is being hunted by police after posting a picture of her dog's mouth duct-taped shut with the words: "This is what happens when you don't shut up!".

Katie Brown from Connecticut prompted furious responses with the Facebook post on Friday, which has now been shared more than 350,000 times.

Police received so many calls about the picture that they asked people to stop contacting them.

Despite the furore, Ms Brown appeared to be unshaken - later posting: "Don't panic everyone it was only for a minute but hasn't barked since... POINT MADE!!!!"

A later post by Katie Brown said 'point made'.

Police in Daytona, Florida, where Brown's Facebook page states that she lives, say their inquiries have led them to believe she now lives in Connecticut.
