Absolutely horrendous . How people can treat animals this way is beyond me.

I too hope it is a hoax but I don't think it is

I doubt it is a hoax. The cruelty and unkindness has truly escalated before Christmas. Uneducated low life's who should not be allowed near any animal. Really hope they find the dog and what is the betting is that it's another poor Staffie x .

This was my initial thoughts on the matter too. Grim times for many animals at the moment. I really cannot comprehend how people can be so cruel.

Or lurcher from the Thieving community like the ones hung from the Ashby Canal bridge at Congerstone.

The most recent update I can find is this:

@doglostprteam: Missing hung dog: Trail tracked to locked property on outskirts of Gamesley. Further investigations pending.

Poor thing. Hopefully owners of the property will allow search team to track their land. The poor dog must be terrified and in pain. Poor, poor thing.

Last I saw was the landowner had given permission to search today, so fingers crossed.

Any news on this poor thing?

Yes and positive. Tweeted by the local police force and Rochdale dog rescue. False alarm, it was a dog out walking with its owner and it was playing with a branch. Thank heavens.

@GamesleySNT: Busy shift working on this #Gamesley dog incident! UPDATE - The dog is fine as this report was not as first seems! Dog was not hanging....

@GamesleySNT: The dog was out with its owner and it was playing,trying to pull the branch off the tree. The dog is not injured & is fine. #chinesewhispers

@GamesleySNT: I have spent hours on this over the past couple of days, as a dog owner I am pleased there are no injured dogs! #worthit #Glossop

Thank goodness! I wonder if the dogs owner has any idea how much fuss this all caused it's funny how things can spiral like this!

Edited to add: the Chinese whispers aspect of this is really alarming, as it was originally reported that the dog was seriously injured but this clearly wasn't the case at any point...
