A dog was tied to railings and dumped twice in one day in Dublin city centre yesterday, an animal rescue group has claimed.
The dog, an 8-month-old male boxer mix, was found tied to railings at 7am on Sunday morning "clearly stressed and scared". The person who found him called gardai and My Lovely Horse Rescue. However, two people came in the meantime, claiming the dog was theirs and taking it away.
Later the same day, the rescue organisation got another call warning them that the dog did not belong to the couple who took him. Co-founder of My Lovely Horse Rescue Martina Kenny told Dublin Live: "We tracked the dog all day. We were onto the guards as well, and the minute we tracked where the dog was, we literally went down at 10:30pm last night."
