Tortured stolen dog safe and well - and back with owners
Chunky, the stolen and tortured dog, is safely back home with his owners!
Four teenagers were disqualified from keeping animals after torturing a stolen dog in a case the RSPCA described as one of the worst they have ever seen.
Three of the teenagers, aged 15 and 16, admitted kicking and punching the chihuahua cross, named Chunky, before breaking his leg and neck.
They then set him on fire, fed him drugs and dumped him in a rubbish tip in Margate.
Despite his ordeal the dog survived and has now been returned to his owners.
The age of the teenagers means that they cannot be identified.
