“Due to loss of fur and length of time she was in the water, we are unable to ascertain what breed she is. She is a medium sized dog with angular features.

“At the moment we have no reason to believe there was any foul play involved in her death but we are keen to find out the circumstances surrounding how she came to be in the water.

“It could be that she got away from her owner and unfortunately drowned.”
