The animal charity is appealing for them to come forward to potentially support their enquiries.

RSPCA inspector, Nadine Pengilly, said: "We would like to talk to these two men as we think they may be able to help with our enquiries. 

"It appears the dog was deliberately left at the location, but thankfully she was picked up very quickly by a member of the public and she is now being cared for.

Trixie was spotted being led into Crewe Cemetery on Badger Avenue via the entrance at Market Close (Ryan Parker).

"The RSPCA has seen a worrying surge in the abandonments of pets at the start of this year.

"We would urge anyone considering abandoning an animal because they are struggling to care for them to seek out help from the many reputable animal welfare charities who can offer help and advice to anybody in a difficult situation."

Trixie has a dark brown coat and white chest. If anyone has any information about her they are urged to contact the RSPCA appeals line number on 0300 123 8018 and refer to incident number 01475752.
