Two dogs were left to die on a roadside on the hottest day of the year.
The terrier type dogs, believed to be mum and son, were found dumped at the side of a country road in Macclesfield, Cheshire, at around midday on Tuesday, July 19, as temperatures soared to 37 degrees. Both dogs were underweight and were found to be suffering from skin conditions and flea infestations, Cheshire Live reports.
They were discovered by a couple who were driving along the road and rushed them to a nearby vets where they are now receiving urgent treatment. An RSPCA investigation is now underway and anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area or knows the owner is being asked to come forward.
