Paul Skinner, 58, went bicycling with some of his friends. As they went along a more remote stretch of road, they saw something strange moving in a ditch beside the road. They made the decision to approach in order to observe more clearly. They noticed a terrified, apparently abandoned dog trying to protect a sack in his mouth as they got closer.
When they opened the bag, though, the men were shocked. There were four dead puppies in the package. It looks like the puppies were born on the same day. The guys immediately called the police because they were so afraid of what they had seen. They were accompanied by representatives from an animal shelter, who took the puppy and named it.
After conducting some research, the authorities came to the conclusion that as soon as Carly gave birth, she and her puppies had been abandoned in that ditch. Even after their owner abandoned them, Carly never left the side of her pups, but it doesn’t seem like she was able to remove them from the tightly sealed plastic bag. All we can hope for is the capture and punishment of Carly’s owner for this heinous deed. He has shown extreme cruelty in his acts. Not only did he abandon the mother and the puppies, but he also put them in a knotted plastic bag to take away their chance at survival. He sentenced them to death.
Carly is a cocker spaniel.
Sadly, there are more and more instances of animal maltreatment and abandonment. More severe penalties and stricter legislation are required for people who commit these crimes.All we can hope for is that Carly will find a loving home and receive the care she needs. She is a brave woman who chose to stay with her puppies until the very end, in spite of the heat and a lack of food or water.
