We were alerted to the incident when concerned employees from businesses on the industrial estate spotted the dog in the early hours of the morning as they began work.<\/p>\n
Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Ryan Smith, said, \u201cThe dog is a male, tan lurcher. Unfortunately, he is not chipped and was not wearing a collar when he was found.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pads of his feet are cut and would have been extremely painful for the dog to walk on.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is very friendly and was reported trying to get in to passing cars and solicit attention from passers-by so it appears he has been someone\u2019s pet at some point.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that people\u2019s circumstances can change, but this is not the right way to give up an animal. The dog would have been caused a great deal of unnecessary distress at a time when he was already in considerable discomfort. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe dog was taken to one of our animal rescue and rehoming centres, where he is now receiving the care he needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are urging anyone who recognises this dog, or has any information to please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
