The RSPCA want to speak to the man in connection with the investigation

A member of the public reported the incident, saying they had seen a man punch and slap a boxer type dog in Waterloo Road just before 4pm on Monday, September 23.

The man was reported to have been seen yanking the dog on its lead away from another dog before assaulting it between two parked cars. He walked off with the canine from the location near to the Cash Convertors and Cash Generator shops.RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Mike Man said: "This incident took place in a busy retail area of Blackpool not far from Blackpool South Station and the Promenade so it is likely it was seen by a number of people.

The RSPCA has released an image captured by local CCTV cameras of a man who was in the area at the time who may be able to help provide information to assist the animal charity’s enquiries. He is of medium build and he was wearing jeans and a hooded top. Anyone who has any information about the dog or his owner is asked to contact the RSPCA appeal line number on 0300 123 8018, referencing incident number 01358312.
