This is sick
Police are hunting yobs who blew a pet Yorkshire Terrier to bits with fireworks.
The 11-year-old dog was ripped apart by a blast after she ran away from her owners.
The killers filmed the attack on their mobile phone, The Sun reported.
Maureen and Keith Barrington, both 67, said the dog had bolted from their garden when fireworks startled her.
Mr Barrington, who found the animal near the couple's West Yorkshire home, said: "She had been blown to bits...I knew straight away it was her because of her collar."
He suspected Emmie had been hit by a car and then attacked as she lay in the road.
Mr Barrington, from Linthwaite, hoped the animal had died before the blast.
He added: "But whether she was alive or dead, it was an absolutely disgusting thing to do.
"My wife is just getting over cancer and I've had a triple heart bypass - but Emmie was something to live for."
Mrs Barrington said: "They (the yobs) are sick in the head.
"They can't be right because who would want to do that?"
