Police have launched an investigation after reports of two men attacking a dog.
The suspects are alleged to have held down a dog and beaten it at the roadside on the A4 between Beckhampton and Calne on Boxing Day (26 December).
When challenged by a member of the public at around 3.30pm, they claimed their dog was ‘acting up’ – according to a witness who reported the incident to police.
Wiltshire Police are looking to identify the two males pictured – and asked those with information or dash cam footage to get in touch.
PC Laura Hughes said: “We take reports of this nature extremely seriously and are keen to speak to the two men involved and check on the welfare of the dog.”
