A woman has been left "traumatised" after 12 dogs were dumped in a field in a "horrendous state". Val Phillips, founder of Valgrays Border Collie and Animal Rescue, received a call about a dog roaming around a field in Oxted, Surrey.
But when she showed up to rescue the poor pooch, she quickly discovered she was not the only one who had been carelessly cast aside by her owner. She told The Mirror: "Twelve dogs were dumped in our village in a horrendous state - but they are now going to get a better future."
