SSPCA launch appeal after dog’s body with neck slashed found dumped in Edinburgh woods

The American bulldog was discovered wrapped in a blanket and tied up after the ‘sustained and deliberate’ attack

A dog has had its neck slashed before being dumped in the woods near Bonnyrigg . The American Bulldog was discovered wrapped in a blanket and tied up around 3pm on Tuesday November 5 by a member of the public.

The Scottish SPCA have said that the dog was subjected to a “sustained and deliberate” attack with a knife and that the deep wound on her neck could only have been caused with a “considerable amount of force”.

However, they added that the female dog was otherwise in good condition and had been cared for properly before its death.
The animal charity is appealing for information from the public after a microchip in the animal was traced back to an address in the Edinburgh area.

Inspector Tracey Dow said: “The female dog is a white and tan American bull dog. “From the scene where the dog was found we are able to ascertain that she was killed elsewhere and then driven here to dispose of the body.

“We would like to determine the circumstances surrounding the dog’s death. It is a criminal offence to harm or kill an animal and we are keen to find the person responsible. “If anyone can help with our enquiry, we would urge them to call our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
