Her Afghan Hound Azaar found a pile of pigs in blankets near to Sandford Lake.

Reading Chronicle:

Azaar had to be rushed to the vets for urgent veterinary care after digesting the nails.

The dog has since passed away.

She said: "People are monsters. It's unfair to harm any living creature and for those monsters this might be "just a dog" but for me he is my whole world.

"This dog helps me every single day live as normal as possible."

Azaar's owner has picked up all of the sausages she could find to prevent the same happening to other dogs.

However, there could be more pigs in blankets hidden around the park so pet owners are being warned.

Dinton Pastures is usually a safe place for her to walk her dog Azaar, but she warned residents to be aware.
