An appeal has been launched after a dog was found abandoned in Aberdeen.

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after the dog was left tied to a fence.

A member of the public discovered the cane corso dog on the evening of Wednesday 12 June on Manor Avenue and called the charity’s animal helpline.

Scottish SPCA inspector, Alexandra Campbell said: “This young dog had a docked tail and ears and was found tied to a fence on Manor Avenue. He was wearing a red collar and is microchipped but not registered.

“We would urge anyone unable to care for their pets to contact our confidential animal helpline for support and advice.

“If anyone recognises this dog or has any information surrounding his circumstances, they should call our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”

Shocking animal protest of 'dog roast' stuns Henley Royal Regatta attendees
A shocking animal protest displaying a 'dead dog being roasted on a stick has left Henley Royal Regatta attendees 'stunned'. The daring stunt, which revealed a lurcher dog 'being cooked' under a banner that read 'The Great Dog Roast', occurred at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, yesterday (3 July). The prestigious rowing event, attended by celebrities and royalty alike, attracted crowds of 300,000 spectators - and many were left 'horrified' to see the unusual delicacy: a dog roast. The stunt, in which a silicone model of a dog was used, was organised by the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, Viva! in a bid to 'challenge the perception that it’s socially acceptable to eat some animals but not others'. Viva!’s founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, said: “This Viva! stunt pushed boundaries and had the desired effect of shocking thousands of people into facing the reality that eating pigs, cows and other animals isn’t so different to eating dogs.

Harrowingly, he simply said afterwards: “I didn’t want her to die.”

A care home in the UK has introduced robotic pets to its elderly residents. Residents at Pennystone Court Care Home in Blackpool, Lancashire have benefitted from the four cats and one dog as a simple way to bring pets into their home. Designed to feel and sound like real animals, the cats emit soft purrs and meows while the dogs wag, snuggle and produce a soothing heartbeat which can help soothe patients with dementia and access happy memories of pet ownership. Peer-reviewed studies have shown that robotic animals, which respond to petting, hugging and motion in a lifelike way, can alleviate loneliness, especially among older people.
