Paul Skinner, 58, was riding a bicycle with a friend when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye that made him instantly apply his brakes.
There was a movement in a ditch.
As he got closer, he saw a cocker spaniel that had obviously been left behind, exhausted and nearly dead.
The dog also had a plastic bag in his jaws, and Paul’s spine tingled as he saw what was inside.
Leaped from his bicycle
At the time, my friend and I were riding bicycles. We saw what appeared to be a dead bird on the edge, but it moved as we passed it,” Paul told the British newspaper Metro.
The dog was found in Lincolnshire, England, clearly abandoned.
Paul continues, “The dog was sitting by itself, licking the contents of a fish and chips carrier bag.”
Paul leaped from his bicycle and went to the dog. He saw no owners in the area.
He then noticed the bag she was holding in her mouth.
Paul stooped to examine the contents of the bag.
There were four dead pups in the package. It was devastating. Her eyes were watering. “It’s unbelievable that someone could be so unhuman to do something like this,” he says.
Paul got in touch with a local animal shelter and an animal rescue organization right away.
Soon after, animal shelter volunteers showed up and attempted to save the puppies, but it was too late.
After examining the puppies, one veterinarian concluded that they were most likely born on the same day.
When they were put in the bag and thrown into the ditch with their mother, it seemed as though they might have been alive.
The police stated, “We don’t know whether the puppies died from the cold or were stillborn.” “We are grateful to Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary for taking the dog to the veterinarian and to the cyclist who discovered her and sounded the alarm.”
The mama dog had a microchip, but it could only be linked to the original breeder.
The dog shelter took care of the mother dog, who was given the name Carly. She will, thankfully, never experience cruel treatment again, and she will serve as a reminder to us that we should never stop speaking out against those who mistreat animals.
It’s obvious that Carly has a hundred times more heart than her careless owner. Even when her children passed away, she refused to leave them.
Her intense response and mother instinct clearly demonstrate that animals are capable of feeling emotions on par with humans.
Carly may have more puppies in the future, but I hope she has a long and happy life! As in, if you concur!
