A litter of adorable puppies who were "discarded like rubbish" in a crate by the road have got a bright future ahead working with the police. The Labrador pups were just 10 to 12 weeks old when they were discovered "skinny, terrified and mange-ridden" near the A249 in Kent.
Traumatised by their horrific start to life, the golden dogs were initially too scared to even leave the crate. One young pup named Achilles sadly didn't survive and died from a mysterious illness, but thankfully his six 'fox red' siblings were nursed back to health by a stray dog service.
