A Lod resident called the 100 police hotline this morning (Wednesday) and reported that she heard a dog howling and suspected that her neighbor was beating him.
Police officers who arrived at the apartment in the city found a pit bull dog with many bruises on his face and legs while he was bleeding.
The landlord, a 23-year-old who is also the dog owner, was arrested for questioning on suspicion of aggravated animal abuse.
The dog was collected by the municipal veterinarian for medical treatment.
Tomorrow, the police will ask to extend the suspect's detention in court.
Police have announced that they will act with zero patience towards animal abuse of any kind and will conclude the lawsuit with those involved.
