A litter of newborn puppies with their umbilical cords still attached have been dumped in a woods. The pups, possibly French-bulldog types - were found by a passerby walking through Beeley Woods, near Middlewood, Sheffield.
RSPCA deputy chief inspector, Sara Jordan said: "The two male and three female puppies were only hours old with their umbilical cords still attached and were extremely vulnerable. The finders rushed them to a local vet who checked them over and estimated that they were just a few hours-old. They were also very cold so it appears they had already been in the woods for a short time before they were found.
