A man has been charged after a dog was tied to a barbed wire fence and left to starve in Angus.

An investigation was launched after the female Rhodesian ridgeback rottweiler cross was discovered at Kinnaird Park Estate, near Brechin, on 13 March.

The dog had died of starvation and dehydration and was found with soil and fragments of wood in her stomach.

The man, from Brechin, has been charged with abandoning a dog and causing it unnecessary suffering.
