Officers received two calls from separate members of the public in relation to two men believed to be involved in the illegal act at about 6.45pm on Monday.
A spokesman for Police Scotland told the Courier: “Both informants reported seeing a greyhound/lurcher type dog run out from fields on to the roadway, where it was closely followed by two males within a blue Skoda Fabia estate.
“The dog was then placed within the rear of this vehicle before the males drove off.”
