THE horrific plight of nine dogs found brutally dumped in the Hampshire countryside has shocked the world.

Since we broke the horrifying story yesterday, the whole world has been outraged.

More than 1million people have already seen the story on Facebook, with animal lovers as far as America, Australia, China, and across Europe, sharing the story and shocking photographs.

And that figure is rising as people wake up to the shocking photos. 

Today the hunt has been stepped up to find the owner, while the whole world has been left asking "how could they?"

Up north in Aberdeen, Callisa Chalmers-Kilhams said: “This makes me really angry, hope the owner/s are found and made to pay for what they've done.”

Gisela Kleinschmidt from Germany dubbed the neglect “incredible while in France Veronique Vanfleteren said: “It is so sad to see the poor beasts in this state.”

Across the Atlantic, Erika Becerra from the USA said: “Please share and help to identify these criminals. "I'm sure they were breeding these poor creatures! Don't buy. You are hurting them if you do.”

Next door in Canda Cherry Jubilee from Canada said: “England, you have a monster amongst you. Please share to help find those responsible."
