AN appeal has been launched after a dog was found tied to a tree in a park in Dumbarton. 

The male dog was discovered in Levengrove Park on Wednesday, May 24.

He is thought to be around two to four years old.

The Scottish SPCA confirmed he is now in the care of its Dumbarton centre.

The animal welfare charity is appealing to trace the dog's owner.

Anyone who recognises him or has any information is urged to call 03000 999 999.
