Candice Scorer of the Sandton SPCA said, “Because of the social media explosion, they knew we were looking for them and decided to skip the country.”
According to Scorer she was unable to confirm which country the driver had fled to.
The owner of the dogs which were wired to a bakkie has spoken out.
The North Eastern Tribune managed to get hold of the owner of the dogs.
According to him, he had given them away because the dogs kept fighting with his other pets.
The owner, who is believed to reside in Fourways said, “I gave the dogs away because they were fighting with my other dogs. I am a family man, I have other animals and they are in good condition. I do not know where [the other two] are now.”
According to the owner he handed them over to the driver of the white Toyota bakkie on 5 May.
