UNITED KINGDOM -- The black and white dog had once been homed by a leading pet charity but the animal recently washed up on a beach after bundled into the black backpack.
Because the crossbreed called Connor was fitted with a microchip, it has been determined the pet was rehomed by the Dogs Trust in St Helens, Merseyside, when it was a puppy.
Seven years later, the dog’s remains have washed ashore near Perch Rock, near New Brighton, on the tip of the Wirral.
The RSPCA is carrying out an investigation into the bizarre circumstances of Connor’s discovery on the beach having been tied into the bag and is urging the public to provide information about the animal.
Wirral RSPCA Inspector Anthony Joynes said: “Connor was rehomed by the Dogs Trust originally as a puppy in 2009 to someone in the St Helens area.
“Inquiries I’ve made from the details held by the chip company show the previous owner rehomed Connor five years ago, offering him 'free to a good home' through the internet.
“They then delivered the dog to an unknown address in Liverpool.
“I would like to talk to the last owner or person responsible for Connor’s welfare. I would urge them or anybody who knows anything about what happened to him to get in touch.”
The RSPCA says there is currently no suggestion of any previous cruelty to Connor, but the circumstances in which he was found have raised concerns.
Anyone with information should call the charity on 0300 1234 999.
