A dog found on the side of a road in Radcliffe-on-Trent had to be put down in a "tremendously upsetting situation". Lauren Whaley found the dog tied to a fence with suspected stab wounds to the neck.
The 25 year old from East Bridgford took the dog to RSPCA Radcliffe on November 16 where she was named Candy. Lauren said: "She was really skinny, she looked like she just had puppies. She was not in a good shape and we were not entirely sure what was best to do.
"We rang a couple of animal charities, the dog warden came to us and then we went to the RSPCA." At the RSPCA, vets examined Candy and estimated her to be around three to four years old and was a Mastiff-type breed.
