Dog stabbed to death and buried

A 37-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in connection with the death of a dog that was stabbed before being buried in a shallow grave.

The young male black-and-white Staffordshire bull terrier cross was found in a wooded area of Kinmylies, Inverness, last month. A post-mortem examination revealed the animal had been stabbed twice, in a lung and its heart.
