The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after an "extremely exmaciated" dog was found in Strathclyde Country Park.
The dog was discovered by a member of the public towards the Bellshill side of the park at the end of June.
Scottish SPCA Inspector Jack Marshall said, “The poor girl was in such a bad state that the decision was made by a vet to put her to sleep to prevent any further suffering.
“She had a large wound in her chest that was possibly a week or two old.
“We’re urging anyone who recognises this girl to get in touch with our animal helpline on 03000 999 999 immediately.”
Abandoning an animal is an offence under the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact the Scottish SPCA animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
