The pet was injured between Melrose and Newstead while on a walk. The incident was discussed at Melrose Community Council on Wednesday, April 21. Robin Chisholm said: “There’s a raised walkway with a wooden decking. Someone was walking their dog and one of its legs got stuck and it broke its leg.” Jenny Linehan, a Scottish Borders Council member for Melrose, said: “I know exactly what you mean and I have to carry my dog over it.” Ms Linehan, of the Conservatives, said that rabbit or chicken fencing on the walkway might solve the issue.
