The Scottish SPCA has appealed for dog owners in Perth and Kinross to keep their pets under control at all times.
The warning follows a rise in attacks on wildlife and livestock across the nation.
Incidents involving deer and foxes have been reported.

Although there had been no incidents reported in Perth and Kinross, Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer Amy Stirton was keen to remind people of their responsibilities.
She said: “We’re happy to say there have been no incidents in the Perth and Kinross area at present.
“However, we would still ask the public to be vigilant and keep their dogs under control at all times.
“Pandemic or not, people should not let their dog off-lead if they cannot control them.
“We’d also like to remind the public that, at this time, if their dog runs off and becomes lost, then nobody will be able to come out and search for it.
“Dog warden services are suspended due to coronavirus and we do not have the resources to search for missing animals.”
If anyone comes across wildlife which is injured or abandoned, the Scottish SPCA’s advice is not to attempt to move or touch it and call the charity’s animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
