'Whimpering' dog found tied to tree and abandoned by her owner

A "terrified" dog who recently had puppies was found tied to a tree in Anfield "whimpering" during the early hours of a morning.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog, aged about two, was found by a man walking home at around 1am on Saturday in a wooded area at Anfield Sports Club in Lower Breck Road. Upon returning to the same place at 5am to investigate, he found the young dog tied to a tree.

Reporting to the RSPCA, the dog has been named Ann by rescuers after where she was found and is in the care of Greater Manchester Animal Hospital. RSPCA inspector Nadine Penguily launched an appeal to find the person responsible as she is also concerned the dog had recently had puppies and is worried about their well-being.
