Photos of a nursing dog that was dumped and chained to a fence in County Roscommon, Ireland, are being shared by devastated dog lovers around the world.
The 2-year-old lurcher was tightly chained to a metal fence post by her collar in a remote field. The dog had been abandoned along with six of her puppies, which were so young they had yet to open their eyes. They were left without food and water; the mother, despite being restrained by the chain pulling at her collar, was attempting to nurse her babies.
