THE RSPCA is trying to find a man who deliberately hit and killed an elderly dog with his motorbike in a popular dog-walking spot near Farnham.

The charity was alerted after a member of the public, who does not wish to be identified, was walking his 10-year-old German Shepherd bitch, Zena, when a man appeared on a road-legal motocross bike and deliberately sped up and drove straight at the dog.

The impact of the collision with the bike threw Zena 25 feet across the ground causing multiple injuries and her heart stopped beating minutes later.

The incident happened at around 1.30pm on August 16 on heathland owned by the Ministry of Defence known locally as Caesar's Camp, an area popular with walkers.
