Howl Of A Dog Rescue was contacted to save newborn orphan puppies found abandoned on side of a country road.

At first, we thought that maybe some wild animal or stray dog or cat had given birth there. We didn't expect to find newly born puppies abandoned in such a cruel way. It turned out to be one of the most heartbreaking cases of animal cruelty we have dealt with: there were several puppies dumped in a bag and simply left there to die. It was a rainy and very chilly autumn morning and their bodies were so cold that it was a miracle their little hearts were still beating
