Four dogs found dead have sparked a police probe amid mounting fears pet owners are struggling to afford to keep their animals in the cost of living crunch.
The bodies of four American Bulldogs were found wrapped in plastic bags and floating in the water by horrified members of the public in Abbeywood, south east London.
The animals - three adult dogs and a seven-month-old puppy - were pulled Southmere Lakes by a marine unit at just before 9pm on Saturday.
