The body of a dog has been found dumped in a bag near a Scots burn.
The grim discovery was made on Monday, July 25 near Niddry Burn, opposite the Jack Kane Centre, in Edinburgh. Scottish SPCA officers believe the pooch - who was found with a tennis ball - to be a Corgi cross.
Graphic images show the animal lying in the bag with soaked fur. It is believed the canine's body could have been sitting there for several days.
