An abandoned puppy has been found curled up next to its dead brother after the tiny dogs were dumped in woods near Edinburgh.
The grim discovery was made by a member of the public in Deepsyke Woods near the Pentland Hills on Sunday, October 9. It is the second time in less than a week that puppies have been found in the area after the three male crossbreeds were discovered starving and riddled with worms in nearby Carlops on Tuesday, October 4.
Scottish SPCA ( SSPCA ) officers investigating the two incidents believe the animals are from the same litter. It appears the abandoned litter split up and headed in different directions.
