  • "Sorry, but this is as I stated, a complete accident. The witnesses statement are now incorrect, no chain, just a thin long nylon lead.

    Whoever thinks he is guilty based on what you have read on a hatred group on facebook like the one stated in the article, then yo uare going off incorrect facts, with barely any facts known. It was not his dog, not a chain and it was not done on purpose.

    You only get a jury if the crown court deals with it, it will probably be dealt with in a magistrates court because the only law broken here is failure to report a dead dog, which was due to a fight or flight natural human instinct as well as ignorance to the UK law to report it.

    leave the guy alone, let the family grieve, let the police do their job and may the dog rest in peace"

Police investigating the death of a dog which was dragged behind a car on the A27 have released this image of its lead.

Chris Gee, a Sussex Police scenes of crime officer, released the photo on social networking website Twitter this morning.

He revealed his colleagues are examining a Porsche Carrera which is believed to have dragged the beagle-collie cross along the A27 from Devil's Dyke to Southwick on Sunday night.

Mr Gee said Porsche had agreed to help the inquiry by testing similar vehicles.

A 33-year-old Worthing man has been arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and released on bail.

The man, who has not been named, released a statement through his solicitor saying the dog's death was a "tragic accident".

When news of the incident broke, more than 1,000 people joined a group on the Facebook website, called Justice for Little Pup.
