I’m just speculating.

But the breed and response is highly suggestive

Could be the original owner/s of the dog wanting it back without paying for the fines/fees. Dog fighting is a bit far fetched isn’t it??

Maybe. I’ve no idea about the popularity of dog-fighting as a sport is around these parts. Nor do I know what the fine is for retrieving your dog from the RSPCA.

I probably saw him at the RSPCA yesterday, but wasn’t looking for a pitbull-type dog, so can’t remember.

Poor little dog. Destined for a life of physical and emotional abuse. It seems doubtful that they’ll ever catch his kidnappers.

looks pretty happy to me

OMG That is so sick – poor little puppy!
