A GoFundMe page has been started to help pay the vet bill for a dog who was hit by a dirt bike.
Police launched a probe after a Golden Labrador was involved in an incident with a bike at the start of the April at Lochore Meadows.
An appeal for witnesses was made and the animal was taken to a vet for veterinary treatment.
Now a GoFundMe page has been launched by Samantha Digan to help cover the costs for this care.
It states: “Bailey was out for her walk down Lochore Meadows. She was hit by someone flying around in a park on a dirt bike.

“The boy cowardly never even stopped to see the damage they had caused to the dog.
"Lots of blood around its mouth and big chunk out of its shoulder.
“Bailey has been in theatre and is stitched inside and out. I am looking at trying to raise some funds to help with the vet bill and of course any further treatment she will need.
"Bill is currently at £1500 would appreciate anyone who is willing to help.”
In response to the incident, Claire Baker MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, said she had long been concerned about the "reckless and dangerous" use of off-road bikes, which she said cause "disruption and distress" in communities and poses a danger to the public and riders.

She said the UK Labour government is currently working to strengthen police powers through the Crime and Policing Bill to better address this issue in England and Wales.
Ms Baker has urged the Scottish Government to consider similar legislation.
The GoFundMe page for Bailey has currently raised £255.
