There is an appeal for information after a dog was 'kicked in the head' and dumped in a street near Dalmeny train station in Edinburgh.
The male bull breed type dog was found on Saturday and reported to the Scottish SCPA.
A member of the public called the charity helpline after witnessing a man kicking a dog in the head and neck before driving away without him.
The pup is very nervous and underweight but didn't appear to have any other physical injuries.
Inspector Jennifer Surgeon, said: “The dog was left unattended in the area but thankfully the caller was able to contain him and take him to a place of safety.
“The male drove away in a white car however was wearing a motorbike helmet to shield his face so we have been unable to identify him so far.
“The dog is microchipped but has not been registered. He is now in our care at one of our animal rescue and rehoming centres.
“If anyone recognises this dog or has any information surrounding his circumstances, they should call our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
