Content Summary:
Newspaper clipping: "What must be one of the most cruel acts ever to come before the RSPCA, is this greyhound. The dog's ears had been cut off and the dog was buried in a 2ft grave alive on a beach at Botany. The dog was discovered by a man who noticed two hind legs sticking out of the sand. The man uncovered the grave and found the dogs head at the bottom of the blood-spattered grave and had to clear the dog's throat of sand and shells, he then contacted the RSPCA."
