Attempted hanging of a dog

A dog suffered horrific injuries after someone attempted to hang him with a piece of wire. This barbaric act took place in Koskinou on the island of Rhodes in mid February 2010.

Thankfully the dog was discovered by a passer by who took him to the vets. He is expected to make a full recovery from the terrible injuries he sustained.

The plight of this poor dog was picked up by the Greek news programme Kosmos TV. GAR are in contact with one of the reporters for Kosmos TV and we will suggest that between us (Kosmos TV & GAR) put up a minimum 2,000euro REWARD for information leading to the identity and prosecution of the monster responsible. We hope that the reward can be announced on a regular basis on Kosmos TV, local radio stations and posters.

The video footage below shows the dog recovering at the vets. After he received treatment for his wounds, the dog was filmed lying on the floor where he managed to tap his on the floor a few times..... he had suffered so much at the hands of some subhuman, yet he was still willing to trust and show appreciation for being helped.

UPDATE, 23rd FEBRUARY 2010
Hector, as he has now been named has made an excellent recovery and found a loving home. The footage below shows him with his new family.
