Dog wrapped in blanket is
found in shallow grave
THE RSPCA is appealing for information after the body of a
dog was found in a shallow grave in Wirral. The terrier type dog was found by a
member of the public, on Thursday, 2 February 2016, in a field in Brimstage
Lane. The body had been wrapped in a beige blanket, which had black paws printed
on it. RSPCA inspector Naomi Norris, who is investigating, said:-
"Someone had attempted to dig a hole for this dog but it was very shallow. At
this stage we don't know how the dog died; it may be that the dog died naturally
and someone has attempted to bury the body, however there are traces of blood on
the blanket and this does concern us. The dog was not chipped so we have no way
of knowing where he came from. Our only chance is if someone recognises the
blanket and knows that the person whose blanket it is no longer has their dog.
Anyone who has information should contact us in complete confidence on:- 0300
123 8018."
