Police and council officials exhumed the remains of a pet dog buried in a Grimsby park.
Officers cordoned off part of Ainslie Street Park after council staff discovered the grave marked with flowers and a toy windmill.
They later left the remains in the grave unmarked.
Council workmen were cutting the grass at around 7.30am today when they found the grave.
It was dug by a family two weeks ago after Staffordshire terrier "Poi" died at home.
The eight month old suffered a miscarriage just a few days before dying at its owner's family home in Willingham Street.
Young mum Zoe Taylor said "she was more a member of the family than a pet. We had a beautiful ceremony for her. This is where she ran and played every morning."
North East Limcolnshire Council are due to make a statement later.
Keep checking for updates.
