Beaver caught by dog cared for by charity

A 12-week-old beaver who was caught by a dog and separated from his parents will have to be looked after by a charity for up to two years.

Timber, as he has been named, was taken to a vet in Crieff, Perthshire, by a member of the public after her pet caught him while out for a walk.

The kit is now being rehabilitated at the Scottish SPCA’S National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross, Clackmannanshire.
