Cocker spaniel pups found in parking lot die

Pups later died of parvovirus

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) is looking for information on a cocker spaniel and her pups left in the parking lot of Roy’s department store in Wroxham, U.K. A concerned citizen gathered Tilly and her three pups taking them to Hillside Animal Sanctuary.

Unfortunately, the pups were all suffering from parvovirus. Despite veterinarian treatment, all three died. Tilly, the pups’ mother, was also found in poor condition however recovered with the care of vigilant staff.

The only clues the RSPCA have so far are the leather dog bed they were found in along with a men’s Marks & Spencer three quarter length coat and a red fleece pet blanket. If you have any information about the abandoned dogs call the RSPCA at 0300 1234999.

Lifetime pet ban and $10,000 fine

An Australian mother and son were charged with animal cruelty concerning the deplorable condition of their cocker spaniel named Bear.  Bear’s wounds were so severe and neglected that he required euthanization.  The court fined Daphne Kelly $10,000 dollars and forbid her from ever owning a pet.  The court said she had failed to take reasonable steps in preventing Bear’s condition. During the initial RSPCA inspection, Mrs Kelly told the officer she could not take Bear to the veterinarian because she had a business appointment later that day.
