The SSPCA areappealing to find the owner of a rough coated lurcher who was hit by a car on the A75 near the Cuckoo Bridge Roundabout in Dumfries this morning.
The black and grey male dog was rushed to a vets but tragically he was so badly injured he could not be saved.
He was wearing a broad leather collar with a multi-coloured linen scarf tied to it. We believe he was a young dog and while we understand his owner will be devastated by this awful news we are sure they will want to know what has happened to their pet.
If you think this may be your dog please call us on 03000 999 999.
