A dog was beaten and stabbed three times and hate messages were spray painted on the walls of a Winnipeg home after a break-and-enter on Tuesday.

Winnipeg police say they were called to the home around 5:45 p.m. in the city’s Grassie neighbourhood after the reports of a break-in came in.

When police arrived, they found a home that had been trashed and vandalized and a dog who was suffering from multiple wounds.

“They destroyed the inside of our home,” the owner of the home wrote in a Facebook post that was accompanied by pictures of the aftermath.
