Poisoned sausages have been found at a popular dog walking spot in Godstone, Surrey.

One pet nearly died after eating one of the sausages, prompting outrage on social media.

A warning was posted last Friday (May 8) on the Pet Lovers in Tandridge Facebook page by Gordon Reay after the incident behind the Hare and Hounds pub, off BletchingleyRoad.

Mr Reay, who runs a domestic appliances firm, was alerted by one of his customers.

He said: "The dog was very poorly, including suffering internal bleeding and being put on a drip.

"Thankfully its owner managed to get most of the sausage out of her pet's mouth at the time.

"The vet later confirmed that it was a case of poisoning and said that if the poor little soul had consumed all of the bait, he would not have survived."

The RSPCA has warned that dogs ingesting even small amounts of some substances could suffer kidney failure and die.
