But the force has expressed some concerns about the dog's welfare, after officers found injuries similar to those suffered by hunting dogs that are used for wildlife crime.

Anyone with information on Edward's owners can contact Chorley Police on 101, quoting log reference 1006 of October 27, 2020.
