A PUPPY was found dead inside a cardboard box outside a block of flats in Buckinghamshire.
On Friday, January 19, residents found an eight-week old brindle-coloured puppy, thought to be a bull-breed, in the centre of Granby Court, close to Peverel Drive, Milton Keynes.
His body was found in a box from toy car company ‘Absima’, along with a brown cushion, a black M&S knitted poncho and a dark grey Lonsdale t-shirt.
RSPCA animal rescue officer (ARO) Emily Hoad is now investigating the crime.
She said: “This was an incredibly upsetting find for local residents, and I have concerns about whether the puppy was alive or dead before he was dumped inside the box.
"But sadly, he had already passed away when his body was discovered.
“He does not have a microchip so I’m appealing to local people with any information about him or who was responsible for dumping him to come forward.
"I am hopeful that somebody will have seen or heard something as the courtyard at Granby Court contains a number of homes, and I’d like to reassure people they can contact me in complete confidence.”
Anyone with information can contact Emily on the RSPCA’s inspector appeal line by calling 0300 123 8018
