An appeal has been launched to trace the owner of a dead dog found on a golf course in Dunfermline.
The animal was discovered on Sunday at Canmore Golf Club on Venturefair Avenue.
A cause of death for the dog, a female old English bulldog, has not been determined, and despite being chipped the animal’s owners have not yet been traced.
Estimated to be about a year old, the dog was covered in thick mud when she was found and was wearing a leather collar and a lead.
The Scottish SPCA describes the dog’s colouring as tan and white.

Inspector Robyn Gray, from the charity, said: “The dog is female and approximately one year old.
“She was wearing a leather collar and lead with a poo bag holder attached.
“The dog is microchipped but unfortunately the details on the chip were registered to a veterinary practice in Edinburgh.
“We were able to trace the breeder through these details but sadly not her owner.
