Cyclist sees a deserted dog with a plastic bag in its mouth, what’s inside sends shivers down his spine
That’s when he discovered the bag she held in her mouth.
“The bag contained four dead pups. It was heartbreaking. She had tears in her eyes. I could not believe anybody could be so devoid of humanity to do something like this,” he says.
Paul immediately contacted an animal rescue group and and a local animal shelter.
Volunteers from the animal shelter soon arrived and tried to rescue the puppies — but it was too late.
One veterinarian examined the puppies and assessed that they’d probably been born that same day.
It appeared they may have been alive when they were placed in the bag and were dumped in the ditch together with their mother.
“We don’t know whether the puppies were stillborn or whether they died because of the cold,” the police said. “We would like to thank the cyclist who found the dog and raised the alarm and to Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary who got her to the vets.”
