WARNING – CONTAINS IMAGES SOME MAY FIND DISTRESSING
The body of a neglected dead Akita type dog has been found in woodland near Crewe, prompting an RSPCA appeal for help.
The brown and white coloured dog was found covered in a blue curtain on Thursday 26 February on woodland to the side of Old Park Road, near Weston.
There was no microchip or collar to help with identification.
RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Scarlet Sanderson, who is leading an investigation into the incident, said: “We’re grateful to the member of the public who found this poor dog and contacted us.
“It must have been a very distressing thing to find.
“This dog appears to be elderly and was thin with his ribs showing. She had three tumours/growths.
“One covering the whole of her right shoulder, one on her back paw and one on her tail and she also had overgrown nails.
“Sadly, there were no identifiers at all – no chip, collar, lead, or anything, so we’re urging anyone with information to come forward.
“The circumstances in which this dog’s body was found are clearly a potential cause for concern, and we are looking into what may have happened here.
“Anyone who has any first hand information about this dog is urged to contact us on 0300 123 8018 and can quote 01743992.”
