“He is unsure if his poor beloved dog had eaten any prior to him finding it! It would seem this has been deliberately thrown into the garden between 2pm and 7pm in what appears to be a somewhat barbaric attempt to silence a barking dog!

If you know anything about this matter, please contact Police on 101, quoting reference 1270 of 19/1/18.
