The RSPCA is appealing for help to find out what happened to a fatally-injured springer spaniel that was dumped on the edge of a field near Barton-upon-Humber. A member of the public found the deceased liver and white-coloured male dog on the edge of a field near Brigg Road on the B1218. The fatally-injured dog, who was not microchipped, was wrapped in a yellow/cream T-shirt and a black plastic bin bag had been placed over his head. Images were sent last month to the RSPCA by a local veterinary practice that examined the body. The animal welfare charity is now urging anyone with information to come forward.

It is strongly suspected by the vet that he was involved in a fight with another dog and died as a result of his untreated wounds. Dan Richardson, RSPCA animal rescue officer, who has been making enquiries into the incident, said: “This would have been an extremely upsetting discovery and we’d like to thank the member of the public for their compassion and concern. We need the public to help us find out what has happened to this poor dog.
