A dog that was tied to a heavy rock and drowning in the River Trent has been saved by a member of the public.
The Belgian Shepherd, who is called Bella according to her microchip, was spotted in the water and dragged to safety by a woman near Long Lane, Farndon on Monday morning.
Bella had a carrier bag containing a large rock tied to her lead when she was found. She has now been taken to a local vet where she is being looked after.
An arrest has been made but officers investigating the incident are appealing for witnesses or for anyone who recognises Bella to come forward.
