‘The puppies are only around five weeks old and both were very weak and sick. He contacted us and went back to the park to check on them but, sadly, the second puppy had already died.
‘When I went to collect them, the male was collapsed on top of his dead sibling; it was heartbreaking.
‘I rushed the surviving pup to our veterinary hospital where he was given emergency treatment.
‘He’s still on a drip and is receiving round-the-clock care. Thankfully his temperature has come down and he’s starting to eat on his own so I really hope he pulls through.’

Philip is now investigating who is responsible for abandoning poor dogs and leaving them in such poor health.‘I’d like to speak to anyone who knows where these puppies have come from or who may have seen anything suspicious in the park on Sunday afternoon,’ he added.

Learn to read your dogs body language. Since no dog I know of is able to mosey up to the kitchen table, pour himself a cup of coffee, and confess to all of the things that annoy, frighten, and stress him out, I suggest that the next best thing is to learn to read your dog’s many signals and body language. This is how your dog will communicate with you.
‘These pups were too young to be separated from their mother and were clearly not in a good way so to abandon them to fend for themselves is awful.
‘I’m now concerned about their mother and any other littermates who could also need veterinary treatment.’
