An emaciated dog was found trapped inside a suitcase near some train tracks by a Glasgow railway worker.
The poorly crossbreed was discovered in some shrubbery just off Glenmuir Drive on Thursday, March 2, after there was a strange smell coming from a freshly dumped suitcase.
Upon opening it up the worker uncovered a dog which was wrapped in towels and blankets.
The female canine was in a poor condition and had a number of masses and tumours on her stomach, with one of the tumours covered in a blood soaked nappy.

Her nails were overgrown, resulting in one nail digging into her paw pad and causing it to bleed.
The Scottish SPCA is now appealing to the public for information following the incident.
Scottish SPCA inspector, Isla Bell, said: “We received a call from a railway worker who had been doing repairs in the area for a few hours before discovering a large blue suitcase amongst shrubbery near the railway tracks.
“The area had lots of litter and the suitcase stood out because it looked clean and fresh. They opened the suitcase because it was giving off a strong smell and found the dog wrapped in blankets and towels inside.
“The dog is a female brindle and white crossbreed. She was very emaciated and in poor condition. She had numerous masses and tumours on her stomach, one of which was wrapped in a nappy soaked in blood.
“The dog’s nails were overgrown, with one growing into her paw pad, causing bleeding. The dog had no microchip and was not wearing a collar.
“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.”
