“Thankfully, due to the quick actions of her owner and excellent treatment by Brannock Vet Clinic in Newarthill, Evie is making progress towards a recovery.

“I urge all dog walkers to remain vigilant when out with their pets. If anyone spots illegal snares or traps, please report these to Police Scotland immediately.”
