The RSPCA is appealing for information after this puppy was attacked by a gang of teenagers in Birmingham last night.

A member of the public intervened when the dog was kicked after being dragged along by his lead. The Staffie, who the animal charity have called Noel, has five broken ribs and can barely stand.

The attack took place at Witton Lakes in Perry Common Road. Anyone with information should contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
