These are the horrific injuries suffered by a dog at the hands of 'cruel and barbaric' badger baiters.
The poor animal was picked up by police after being abandoned in a field by two men over the weekend.
Officers were called to Chinley, a village in High Peak in Derbyshire, on Sunday morning after the men were seen digging at an active badger sett.
They were confronted by the landowner and fled, but returned not long after.
Again, the men were challenged before leaving the scene in a large silver/grey 4x4.
Derbyshire Police say the dog - thought to be a Patterdale terrier - was found in the field.

It had serious facial injuries which officers say were 'clearly caused' by it being put into the sett to fight with a badger as the men dug down.
The creature was taken to a vet to be checked over.
Police are now appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
"This is a cruel and barbaric act by the owners of the dog, both against the dog and the badgers in the name of pleasure," Derbyshire Rural Crime Team posted on Facebook.
There is no description of the men, however their vehicle is described as a 'crew cab-type' vehicle with a grey rear load bed canopy.
Officers are urging anyone who knows someone with a dog like the one in the images, but after Sunday no longer has it, or a vehicle that matches the description to get in touch.
Derbyshire Police can be contacted on 101 with the log number 19*492943.
Alternatively, information can be passed via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
