Paul Skinner, a 58-year-old man, went cycling with some of his friends. They noticed something strange moving in a ditch by the side of the road as they were riding along a more isolated stretch. They decided to get closer to observe what was happening. As they approached, they saw a frightened dog, seemingly abandoned, trying to protect a bag between its jaws.
However, the men were shocked when they opened the bag. Inside the bag were four dead puppies. The puppies appeared to have been born on the same day. Terrified by what they had seen, the men immediately contacted the police. They were accompanied by representatives from an animal shelter, who took the puppy and named her Carly. After some investigation, authorities concluded that Carly had been abandoned in the ditch along with her puppies right after giving birth.
Carly never left her little ones, even after their owner abandoned them, but it seems she couldn’t free them from the tightly sealed plastic bag. All we can hope for is that Carly’s owner will be caught and made to pay for this horrific act. He committed acts of extreme cruelty. Not only did he abandon the mother and the puppies, but in an attempt to deprive them of any chance of survival, he placed them in a knotted plastic bag. He sentenced them to death. Unfortunately, cases of animal abuse and abandonment are increasing.
Harsher penalties and stricter legislation are needed for those who commit such crimes. All we can hope for is that Carly finds a loving home and receives the care she needs. She is a brave dog who chose to stay with her puppies until the end, despite the heat and the lack of food and water.
