The body of an emaciated dog was found inside a suitcase by a railway worker near a train line in Glasgow.
The staff member, who was fixing repairs in the area, spotted the blue suitcase among shrubbery near Glenmuir Drive in Glasgow on March 2.
SSPCA officers attended after a strong smell was noted coming from the case. The body of a female crossbreed was found inside, wrapped in blankets and towels.
The animal had tumours on her stomach, with one wrapped in a blood-soaked nappy bag. The dog's nails were overgrown, with one growing into her paw pad.
SSPCA officers are appealing for information from the public after the dog was found to have no microchip or collar.
Scottish SPCA inspector, Isla Bell, said: “If anyone recognises this dog or has any information that could help us piece together what happened to her, we would ask that they contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
