A dog was found abandoned in a filthy garden without any water or food on the hottest day ever recorded. Worried neighbours phoned the RSPCA and officers rescued the female dog, thought to be a Boxer.
It happened in Liverpool, which had its hottest day on record last Tuesday, July 19. The dog had been there for several days before being found as temperatures peaked at 35C.
A video of the dog showed how it was left in a filthy garden with no food, water or shelter. The garden, which RSPCA officers gained entry to, was filled with piles of binbags, beer cans, glass and plastic bottles, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
