RSPCA animal rescue officer Katey Freckelton said: “Both dogs were sadly already dead when they were found. One on the grass and the other in a bag hung up on a barbed wire fence.

“It’s incredibly sad that these dogs were dumped in this way and suspicious that their remains have been found in the location.

“The dogs both had microchips but the information wasn’t up to date.

“They were discovered on April 16 and taken straight to a vet, although the person who found them thinks they may have been there for around a week before they were found.

“If anyone has any information about where these dogs may have come from or who is responsible for dumping them here, please call our appeal line on 0300 123 8018, quoting incident number 01495311.”
