A deaf dog was left starving in a dirty home with no food or water and watched helplessly as her companion died.
Misty, a three-year-old Catahoula Leopard dog, was one of two dogs who were locked up and left in a dirty building with no food or water in Wirral. The RSPCA were called about the animals and inspector Helen Smith went to rescue them from the abandoned building.
By the time Helen arrived, Misty's canine companion had already died.
