A call was made to the Scottish SPCA in December 2024, reporting concerns for a dog owned by Luke Larcombe in Springburn, Glasgow. An inspector went for an initial visit and was told by Larcombe that he did not own a dog. Eventually, Larcombe explained to an inspector that Tiko had very overgrown nails and that he potentially had gangrene. When Inspector Cannon from the Scottish SPCA arrived, he found Tiko barking within a closed cupboard in the hall. The bones in Tiko’s paws were “obliterated” by extremely overgrown nails that curled into his paw pads, creating a severe infection, pain and difficulty walking.
