A malnourished dog had its tail slammed in the door of a vehicle and was dragged 30
metres down a southern Sydney street by its owner.

Police say neighbours heard the dog yelping about 2.45 (AEST) yesterday afternoon in
a street in Mascot .. and allege its 64-year-old owner dragged the animal along with its
tail stuck in the side door of his van.

Police say when they arrived at the house .. they found the malnourished dog with grazes
to its mouth, face, hind legs and tail.

Officers seized the animal from its owner and transferred the pet to RSPCA .. where
it'll be examined by a vet.

Police will await the vet report before taking further action.
