Police are looking into an alleged hit-and-run accident along Commonwealth Avenue West that left a woman's dog dead.
Stomper Michael, a friend of the dog's owner, said a passer-by had found Skinny found injured by the roadside on May 12.
Michael told Stomp: "We believe Skinny was hit by a vehicle. The driver simply left her there to die and drove off.
"Skinny suffered severe internal injuries that left her body bloated.
"The passer-by brought Skinny to a veterinarian clinic but she still succumbed to her injuries.
"The police responded to the accident on-site and a subsequent police report was made."
According to Michael, his friend had earlier posted on Facebook to appeal for Skinny's return after she went missing from home.
The passer-by recognised Skinny from the Facebook post and got in touch with the dog's owner.
Michael added: "However remote the chance may be, we hope that members of public can provide some clues regarding what happened or that there are in-car cameras that captured footage of the accident."
In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that a report was lodged and are looking into the matter.
