Abandoned Fife dog ’emaciated’

“He is in extremely poor condition and emaciated.

“We took him to be checked over at a veterinary practice because of his very thin condition and matted fur.

“The dog is now in the care of one of our animal rescue and rehoming centres.

“If anyone recognises this dog, or has any information about his circumstances, they should call our confidential animal helpline.”

Inspector Gray added: “If anyone is concerned about an animal, please do not hesitate to get in touch on 03000 999 999.”
