Two puppies were left abandoned under a railway bridge tethered by a piece of rope. The female and male Cane Corso pups - who are only about four-months-old - were found in Moss Road, Stretford, on Saturday, May 13.
Today the RSPCA, whose care they are now in, said irresponsible breeding may be the reason why the pair were dumped. The charity says the young dogs could have been left by their owner after they failed to sell.
Described as nervous in nature, they were discovered by a member of the public who kindly went home to get leads for them before they were collected from her house by one of the charity’s animal rescue officers, Helen Chapman, the following morning.
