Dead dog found washed up near sailing club on River Tay
The discovery was made near Newburgh last Friday
Animal welfare experts are investigating the death of a dog which was found washed up in the River Tay.
The discovery was made near Newburgh sailing club last Friday.
The SSPCA says it has no reason to believe any foul play was involved at this time.
Animal rescue officer, Kelly McGuire, said, “It’s estimated the female dog was quite young and potentially had a brown coat.
“Due to loss of fur and length of time she was in the water, we are unable to ascertain what breed she is. She is a medium sized dog with angular features.
“At the moment we have no reason to believe there was any foul play involved in her death but we are keen to find out the circumstances surrounding how she came to be in the water.
“It could be that she got away from her owner and unfortunately drowned.
“We would urge anyone with any information to please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
