Police are appealing for assistance in tracing the driver of a car that failed to stop after it struck a dog on Queens Drive, Edinburgh, around 7pm on Friday, 9 April.
Officers attended, however the 9 month-old Cocker Spaniel, later died from its injuries.
Sergeant Stuart Powell said: “The dog’s owner had been walking in Holyrood Park, when the dog started chasing a bird. She was struck by the car on Queens Drive and the driver of the vehicle didn’t stop at the time.
“I would ask any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, or anyone with information that may help us identify the vehicle involved to contact officers through 101 quoting reference number 3198 of 9 April.”

People who knock down any one and of course our dogs and don’t even stop are despicable, no respect for humans or animals! shame on you.
