A dog has been found dead in a bin in Kilsyth - with the Scottish SPCA appealing for information.
The female pooch was discovered at Cemetery Lodge, on Howe Road, on Monday, August 16.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity was alerted to the disturbing find after a member of the public was stunned to discover the dumped deceased dog.
SSPCA inspector Robyn Myszor told Lanarkshire Live : "This was a very distressing incident for the person who found this dog.
"The dog was dumped some time between late evening on Saturday 14 August and 3pm on Monday 16 August.
"The dog is an older female and we think is a Lhasa Apso or similar small terrier type.
"She is cream in colour and was not microchipped or wearing a collar when she was found.
"We’d like to find the owner of this dog and find out how she came to be in the bin at the cemetery.
"This is not the proper way to dispose of the body of an animal who has passed away.
"If anyone has any information on this incident they can contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
