A man was heartbroken after making a "horrific" discovery in an area of woodland.
Gray Taylor, who works for Wirral Fox Rescue in Hoylake, received a call from a local farm on Sunday to say a dead fox had been discovered on Bidston Hill. However, after arriving in the woodland at around 4pm, Gray said he soon realised the animal was in fact a dead dog, which he has identified as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Photos of the dog, which the ECHO has chosen not to publish, show it with blackened fur and its organs and bones visible. Gray, 37, believes the dog's injuries are consistent with her having been set on fire.
