Emaciated Dog On The Verge Of Death

For animal lovers, it is inconceivable to know that there are people capable of subjecting defenseless creatures.

For this reason, knowing that the authorities are willing to do justice in cases of mistreatment of animals fills us with satisfaction. Authorities are asking for help to catch the owners of Tiggy, a Lurcher dog found dangerously malnourished.

Tiggy was found in a field in Northumberland, England. During the month of December, after a complaint. She is being cared for by the rescue group Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) .

“We thought she was dead, but this girl had a fighting spirit and somehow managed to hang on until they picked her up. All of our hearts were broken. At which point she collapsed unable to walk,” a BARK spokesperson wrote.

After being rescued, Tiggy was taken to a veterinary center to check her health. She evidently didn’t look good at all as she looked like a big sack of skin and bones . Also, the poor little 3-year-old did not even have any fur.

Apparently Tyggy was left on the street because her behavior revealed that she may have once had a home. The case moved not only the rescuers and the community, but also the animal welfare officers of the Northumberland County Council who decided to find those responsible.

“This dog was in a really horrible state. This is a shocking and inexcusable case of negligence and we are very keen to get to the bottom of how she came to be in such an emaciated condition and hold those responsible to account,” a police spokesman said.

After the first days of rescue, in which Tiggy was fed a liquid diet every hour and a half, she is now in a foster home, where she receives the necessary care and nutrition to achieve her full recovery.
