They were left hanging in a bag near a river. How could anyone do this?
Three tiny collie puppies are rescued after they were found during a bag hanging on a wire fence.
The newborns, it's been reported, had become caught on the fence after someone attempted to throw them into the nearby river, in Ireland.
However, after receiving a call reporting a bag of what was thought to be abandoned kittens at around 9pm on 8 July, staff at Smyth's Veterinary Services in Donegal were ready to rescue them.
Once they were in safe hands, the pups were treated for hypothermia, hypoglycaemia and hunger by the veterinary team. It's understood they're no quite between seven and 10 days old.

Alexander Smyth, Director of Veterinary Service rushed to the scene shortly after the decision and said that if the bag had ripped, it might are fatal.
He said: "This may be a tragedy during this day and age with numerous animal charities and places that are willing to worry for these animals.
"The suffering of those animals could are avoided. Whilst we've provided a specialist rescue service to numerous pets, wildlife and enormous animals, we aren't a shelter and don't have the facilities to supply future look after these animals once they're rescued.
"The dedicated staff at Donegal ISPCA were thankfully ready to take these puppies into their care, for that we owe them a debt of gratitude.

"The puppies do well but would require intensive support as they're very young and now orphans.
"The abuse and needless suffering of animals is unacceptable, and that we encourage if anyone has any information about any cases of abuse, neglect or otherwise that they ought to make it know to authorities so it are often stopped."
Mr Smyth warned that if people encounter animals during this quite situation within the future, they ought to get in-tuned with professionals who are trained to affect them.
He added: "Animals in these situations are stressed and/or wild and that they can pose risks to persons attempting to rescue them.
