Warning for pet owners after sandwich laced with pins left for dog

Owner wants to alert other people after shock find

Pet owners in Southport are being warned to be aware after a sick yob left out a sandwich laced with pins.

Dog owner Kathy Edwards urged fellow animal lovers to watch out after walking her two year old Pekingese dog, Yuki, down Ivy Street in Southport at around 7.20am on Monday morning.

She said: “Whilst walking Yuki down Ivy Street early this morning he very nearly ate half a ham sandwich off the street.

“On further inspection I found that this sandwich had small pins pushed into it which could have ended horrifically for my pup.

“It has been disposed of and was clearly no accident.

“Just keep a look out and keep a close eye on your dogs whilst they are sniffing about on walks!”
