Dan, an anti-poaching dog, was bred and trained by Welsh organisation, Dogs 4 Wildlife.

Dan, one of the organisation's eight dogs, was deployed to KwaZulu Natal in February and is named after dog-lover Daniel Brindle, from Pembrokeshire.

Ms Law said this incident was "just one of many heart-breaking incidents of snare poaching that occurs in KwaZulu Natal - many of which do not have a happy outcome". KwaZulu Natal holds 25% of the remaining world's population of both black and white rhino, making it a target for poachers after numbers elsewhere have reduced.
