An investigation has been launched after a French Bulldog was abandoned with horrific burns.
Bruce was taken into the RSPCA Preston branch after a woman said she found him dumped and shivering in a bush. He was rushed to the vets for emergency treatment for the painful burns across his back.
Vets believed he had suffered these around two to three weeks before, and they appeared to have been caused by scalding water. RSPCA inspectors want to find out whether he was burned intentionally.
