The body of the dog was found by a member of the public near Wainstalls on Monday, the RSPCA says.
Fatal injuries inflicted on a puppy whose body was found in West Yorkshire are thought to be the result of illegal dog fighting, the RSPCA has said.
The Akita-type puppy had suffered around 50 puncture wounds and a large injury to one ear, the RSPCA said. RSPCA inspector Demi Hodby described the discovery as "distressing", adding that the injuries inflicted on the black and white puppy were "shocking and appalling".
