RSPCA said newborn grey seal pups were often found on beaches at this time of year

An injured seal pup, thought to have been bitten by a dog, has been rescued from a beach on Anglesey.

The three-week-old was found close to a public footpath at the back of the beach at Rhosneigr and has since been transferred to a rehabilitation centre.

RSPCA has urged people to keep their dogs away from seal pups.

Inspector Mike Pugh said: "Dog walkers should also be vigilant if they walk their dogs near seal hotspots."
