“I asked my partner who was driving to reverse. We went closer and we saw the dog. It was sitting in its own poo and vomit.

“There was only a bowl that had no water in it. It didn’t even have a blanket. It was awful, I never thought I’d see something like that in my life.”

Is something wet? Unlike humans who sweat everywhere, dogs only sweat through the pads of their feet.

Ms Beavis said she believed the dog could have been stolen and used for breeding before being dumped on the roadside.

She added: “The cage had padlocks on it. It had a cut on its face. It had manky eyes, but she didn’t look malnourished.

She said she was so overwhelmed by the state of the pup when the pair found her that she took several minutes to compose herself.

She and her partner then took the dog to their home, where they cleaned her up and wrapped her in a blanket.

Ms Beavis said the pup was initially jumpy when they discovered her but soon calmed down when they took her home, even allowing the pair’s children to stroke her.

She explained: “She was so dirty it took us about four hours to clean her. She was very scared, but she didn’t bark once. She was very temperamental.

She has been posting on Facebook in the hope that someone might come forward to claim the pup.

She added that whoever was to blame for the dog’s current state ought to be prosecuted.
