The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after an elderly dog was found dumped at a roadside in Aberdeenshire suffering from serious health problems.
A passerby contacted the animal welfare charity after finding the male golden retriever on a country road, known locally as the Brownhill Road, in New Pitsligo, near Fraserburgh on Sunday (2 August) at around 10.30am. His body was almost completely bald, he was blind and suffering from testicular cancer. His condition was so bad that the vet who examined him had no option but to put him to sleep.
