Puppy found in rubbish container

Tue 6th Apr, 2010

Erding. Someone in Erding has callously thrown a puppy in a knotted rubbish bag into a bin.

Marion Zettl (42) from Erding was walking her dog late on Tuesday evening, when about 20 meters away from her house in a rubbish container, her dog discovered something that was making quiet noises like a cat. Marion found a plastic bag, but was terrified to open it as it was shortly after midnight and she was alone. She called the police. The officers were shocked when they opened the bag: it was a little puppy! The puppy is now being cared for around the clock by the SPCA.

A new home for the nameless puppy has already been found: A family will take him when he will reach eight weeks old and his condition has improved. There is still no trace of the perpetrators and the police are actively looking for them.  Anyone with information is asked to contact the police.
