“He was left to die,” the man wrote on a Facebook page.
“He may never fully recover from these physical injuries and psychological trauma.”
The post described Bear as an “incredible” dog, who was bred by police dog breeders.
A witness told police he saw two men attacking Bear after it had been in a fight with their dog.
One of the men put their dog into their car before both attacked Bear with a sharp object, according to the witness.
Mr Brown told 3AW he came home about midnight and discovered Bear was missing.
The distressed owner searched the streets for the dog, who was found badly injured on his neighbour’s property.
“He came limping out of the neighbour’s yard, just covered in blood, could barely walk, in a lot of pain,” he told the radio station.
“It’s definitely not a blunt trauma, the vet has confirmed that.
“The vet said it’s from an extremely sharp object, it was with such impact it’s caused an indentation to his skull.
“And the laceration to his arm (leg) went all the way to the bone, it was quite a lot of force and something very sharp that did it.”
Bear is recovering but is unable to walk.
Police want anyone with information or householders who may have CCTV footage of the area on the night of the attack to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
