Balding dog abandoned at Scots farm almost 100 miles away from home address

A balding dog has been found cruelly abandoned at a Scots farm almost 100 miles away from its home address.

The shocking discovery was made by a member of the public, who stumbled across the animal at a farm in Slamannan in Falkirk yesterday. The pooch was found in a very poor condition, with its fur matted in some places and patchy in others.

It was taken to a vet, where it emerged the dog was microchipped to an address in Gretna, Dumfries and Galloway - where his owners no longer reside. The dog has since been put into a rescue centre, where it will receive the care until it is rehomed.
