A dog has been found dumped dead in a pushchair in an alleyway after suffering a broken skull, prompting an RSPCA appeal.
The grim discovery was made by refuse workers in Bolton, Greater Manchester, on 29 September.
RSPCA rescue worker Jess Pierce said it was first thought the American bulldog had been in a road accident.
But she added: "It does look like the poor dog has been the victim of a violent attack."
The charity said it believed the dog, which was found in an alleyway between Jauncey Street and Parkinson Street, had been struck with a blunt object.
