A man who apparently put a dog in a washing machine and posted photographs on Facebook showing it struggling in the water has sparked a police investigation into suspected animal cruelty.

The pictures of the small white dog submerged in water and being spun round in the machine appeared on the Facebook page of a user going by the name of Jacky Lo. The photographs were accompanied by a smiley icon.

In response to a comment underneath asking if the dog was dead, Lo answers: "Yes! Do you want to see it!"

The post has sparked outrage online, with thousands sharing the photographs and calling for police to investigate. It is not yet known if police have tracked down the man involved.

FULL story at link. WARNING: The photo is at the top of the story. Since I'm limited to four paragraphs, others can post more of the story in replies.

and he will be charged with cruelty and severely punished.

The article says the last picture shows the drenched dog sitting on the tile floor looking up at the camera.
