We are appealing for information after a dog was found dead in woodland in the Covenanter Road area of Harthill on Saturday 8 February.
A member of the public called the animal helpline after finding the dog wrapped in a blue fleece, next to a public pathway and river.
Scottish SPCA Inspector Colin Arthur, said: “We were called out to dead dog found wrapped in a blue fleece in a quiet woodland area of Harthill.
“Sadly, it looked like it had been there for some time.
“The dog was unfortunately not microchipped but looked to be a Collie type dog.
“It is unknown what has happened, but the dog did have some visible wounds to the neck. It is unclear if these wounds happened before or after death.
