A puppy was rescued after being left to die in a plastic bag in Co Meath yesterday.
The little pooch was found full of worms and had been dumped in a plastic bag on Flowerhill Road in Navan.
He was rescued by animal charity Dog Rescue Coolronan who said that he was skin and bones and way too young to be away from his mum.
The puppy also has an issue with one of his back legs and is now being looked after by the charity’s vets.
A spokesperson for the charity said: “On our way back from Mullingar earlier after dropping Rio to his new home we got a call about this little pup found dumped in a plastic bag in Navan.
“Apart from being left to die in a plastic bag he's skin and bone full of worms and way too young to be away from his mum, he has an issue with one of his back legs which will be checked out by our vets.
“Pray this little guy makes it (if he does he has a home offer when he's ready by a lovely lady I met in pet mania) I'm just sick to the back bone of cruelty in this country.
“If anyone seen anything on Flowerhill this morning about half 10 please PM me it will be treated with the strictest confidence.”
