An emaciated one year old bulldog was found under a bush in the countryside by a passerby. They then called the RSPCA and stayed with the bulldog until they arrived.
The puppy was so emaciated it could barely stand and his face was covered with mange
Unfortunately they were too late and they had to put the poor bulldog to sleep to end his suffering.
RSPCA Inspector David McAdam expressed that the bulldog was enduring some of the most severe health issues he had ever encountered.
As the charity unveiled a set of images captured shortly before the dog was euthanized, the inspector detailed the dog's appalling state of health.
“His condition was nothing short of appalling and the vet said he had been in a suffering state for at least two months."This was a despicable act,” said Inspector McAdam. “The poor dog was left in the middle of nowhere in such a state and was totally helpless and defenceless.
“He was unable to stand up he was so weak. He had a chronic skin condition and was severely underweight, had cherry eyes - where the eyelid swells up - and a prolapsed penis caused by infection.
“It is so upsetting to think of the pain he must have endured during those months which was completely unnecessary."
There are never excuses for abandoning an animal, says the RSPCA. Its experts are always available to provide help and adviice.
"I am just grateful that a kind member of the public found the dog and showed him some compassion in his last hours,” added Inspector McAdam.
The animal welfare charity is appealing for information about the dog who was found in Ricket Lane, Blidworth, on September 30 at around 3.30pm. Anyone with information should contact the charity’s appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
