THE BODY of a dog was found hanging from a wall near Broadway Tower.
A member of the public alerted the RSPCA after they made the sad discovery by the Cotswold beauty spot.
The crossbreed was discovered on Monday, October 16 but the RSPCA believes the dog may have been there longer.
Its believed the dog escaped whilst still wearing its lead, jumped a drystone wall and accidentally hanged itself.
The animal welfare charity is now appealing for information to help identify the owner of the dog.
RSPCA inspector Mark Lewis said: “The dog was sadly found hanging from a drystone wall. There is a microchip but the chip is unregistered so we can’t identify the owner.
“I believe the dog has escaped from somewhere still wearing its lead, had jumped the wall and accidentally hanged himself.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the RSPCA’s appeals line on 0300 123 8018, leaving a message for Inspector Lewis.
