Police would like to warn dog owners to be vigilant after a pet was
poisoned.

The incident occurred on Friday February 19 at 5pm on fields surrounding
Fulwood Head Farm, Fulwood Head Road, Mayfield Valley, Sheffield.

The incident occurred when a Border Collie being walked by its owner ate
something thought to have been laced with strychnine.

remaining poison.

A forensic examination of the dogs will also take place to help officers
with their enquiries.

Walkers are asked to remain vigilant when walking their dogs and to seek
medical advice if they, or their pet, come into contact with anything
suspicious.

No arrests have been made.
