The following complaint was submitted to the group \u2013 Dogs and Cats of Antigua:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

With reference to our visit to the station earlier, please note the dog abuse we witnessed on Tuesday 7th Sept at 11.05am.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We were at Crabbe Hill Beach (near Jacqui O\u2019s) and we witnessed a dog in distress, as it was being dragged into the sea by its owner.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

We have a picture of the person and the dog which I have attached. I confronted the man on 2 occasions as the dog was shaking and scared, and gasping for air.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The dog looked to be a puppy, and I told the man to stop and he said the dog was naughty and then he hit him\/her in front of me a couple of times and then again.<\/p>\n

I then followed him to his house which is Charlotte Street the first house on the left. Please can you visit and check this out?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are on holiday until 12th Sept staying in Nonsuch Bay resort. Please can you advise the outcome regarding this incident?<\/p>\n

I have also copied in Schena who is the Manager of the Escape at Nonsuch Bay Resort, as you asked for a local contact number, and we aren\u2019t residents in Antigua.<\/p>
