A pet rescuer has slated railway bosses for allowing a dead pup to lie on a track for two days before being handed over in a filthy plastic bag.
The treatment of Pippa, a pup rescued from Cyprus, led search party leader Liz Milligan to write a scathing letter to Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines, demanding better treatment for pets killed by trains in Scotland.
Drone pilot and trapping expert Liz, from Kilmarnock, said the pup had run away from new owners at Irvine beach on January 5 and was hit by a train as a rescue party tried to find her.
