Microchipped Dog Found Buried on East Yorkshire Beach
4 Aug
Summary
- Dog's body discovered on July 29th, 2025
- Dog wrapped in black fabric, no obvious injuries
- Microchipped but no registered details
In a disturbing discovery, the body of a microchipped dog was found buried on an East Yorkshire beach on July 29th, 2025. A person walking along the shore near Holmpton Road in Hollym spotted the dog's paws sticking out of the sand and alerted the authorities.
The RSPCA responded to the scene and recovered the body. The dark grey, wire-haired dog had been wrapped in black fabric, and while there were no obvious injuries, the animal charity described the burial as "in suspicious circumstances." The dog was microchipped, but the details were not registered, leaving investigators with few clues about the animal's identity or how it ended up in this remote location.
Animal rescue officer Emily Lomas said the discovery was "upsetting" for the person who found the dog, and that based on the condition of the remains, the animal had likely been there for at least three days. The RSPCA is now appealing to the public for any information that could help shed light on this mysterious and troubling case.
