This made me sick when i found out, as i have one of these dogs, and they are so loving.
A DOG was stabbed, beaten and had a beer bottle rammed down its throat in what the RSPCA is describing as "a barbaric act of cruelty".
The mutilated corpse of the one-year-old Yorkshire Terrier was discovered near waste ground in Miles Platting, Manchester.
It had been stabbed twice and beaten so severely that skin had been stripped from its head.

RSPCA Inspector Vicki McDonald was asked by police to collect the body from a pavement near the waste ground that runs between Coleshill Street and Iron Street at 8.45am on Saturday.
She said: "Without doubt, this is the most disgusting act of animal cruelty that I've seen in the four years that I've been working as an RSPCA officer.
'Whimpering'
"The bottle was plunged into its throat with such force that its mouth was ripped apart and part of its jaw was found at the side of the corpse.
"Whoever attacked it must have been covered in blood and there must have been some considerable noise, perhaps shouting, barking or whimpering."
Insp McDonald found two metal poles, one with fur sticking to it, beside the body of the dog. She believes that it was a sustained attack that would have taken several minutes and is appealing for witnesses.
She said: "It is still unknown who attacked the dog. It is not known if it had strayed or been stolen and was then attacked by a stranger.
"This is an extremely serious offence and potentially carries a custodial sentence."

pardon my language but these b@stards need a lesson teaching, and i wish i knew who was involved, cos they'd be sorry
