Paul Skinner, 58, went on a bike trip with his friends. As they walked along a remote road, they noticed something strange moving in a ditch by the roadside. Curious, they approached to get a better look. As they drew nearer, they found a terrified, seemingly abandoned dog clutching a sack in its mouth, trying to protect it.
When they opened the bag, the men were astonished to find four puppies inside. It seemed the puppies had been born that very day. Shocked by the discovery, the men immediately called the police. Officers arrived at the scene along with representatives from an animal shelter, who took in the dog and named her Carly.
Carly, a cocker spaniel, was rescued along with her puppies.
Unfortunately, cases of animal abandonment and cruelty are becoming more frequent. Stricter laws and harsher penalties are needed for those who commit such acts. We only hope Carly will find a loving family to care for her as she deserves. She is a heroine who, despite the heat and lack of food or water, chose to protect her puppies until the very end.
