Eight puppies found dumped in a bin during heatwave
Eight puppies have been rescued after they were stuffed into a bin in blistering heat and left to die.
The cross-breed dogs' callous owner even dragged the bin into the middle of a country lane near Orpington, Kent, putting the dogs in danger of being hit by a car.
A concerned motorist pulled over on Friday and found the pets distressed and suffering from dehydration.
He took them to an animal shelter where they have made a remarkable recovery, and were named after sugary treats to reflect their 'sweet' nature.
Full story and some lovely photographs of the puppies here...
I hope they find their forever homes quickly, but what I think about the person who dumped them is better left unsaid - suffice it to say how sad it makes me to read such callousness.
