Dog owners have been warned to be extra careful with their precious pooches after one owner discovered their puppy was chewing on tennis ball filled with new razor blades, the Mirror reported.
What's worse, police now believe the balls were placed inside the park to directly target dogs specifically.
Like any dogs tasting fresh air and sunshine, these puppies were eager to gallivant around and play to their little hearts' desire.
The puppies naturally brought the tennis balls out and began chewing on them. But the more the puppies chewed, the weaker the balls seemed to become.
In fact, the owner noticed the balls were actually disintegrating.
Thankfully, the owner discovered the lethal razor wedged inside the ball before any of their puppies were hurt chewing the blade or even swallowing it.
The dog owner posted the story of the incident to the Stockport Crime Watch Facebook page and is asking dog owners and walkers to be hyper vigilant while enjoying the park with their pups.
"I even threw [the ball] for them!" they wrote in the post. "I can't bear to think of the consequences..."
"We are aware of an incident reported by a local dog walker on Friday 24 May," a spokeswoman told Manchester Evening News. "The matter is now being investigated by police."
They added, "We've informed our countryside team who will be carrying out additional checks whilst working in the wider estate."
