A puppy with a broken leg was dumped in a lake and left to drown.
The female lurcher pup, who is believed to be only nine weeks old, was dumped at Manor Park in West Malling on Tuesday.
A light-coloured van was seen driving to the lake before heading off and the puppy was then found in the water by someone out walking.
The dog was taken to a vet and treated for inhalation of water and a broken leg.
RSPCA chief inspector Steve Dockery said: “It looks as though this poor puppy was thrown in the water because she had a broken leg and her owners did not want her any more. It is absolutely outrageous.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the RSPCA in confidence on 0300 123 8018.
