A tumour-ridden dog was discarded "like a piece of rubbish" after it was found abandoned at the side of the road.
Molly, a Shi Tzu-type dog, was discovered by a passer-by who saw her wandering aimlessly at the edge of a busy road before taking her to the vet.
The vet diagnosed Molly with severe dental disease and a large tumour the size of a mango drooping from her stomach which affected her walking.
