Dublin terrier finds abandoned puppy in rubbish pile while out on a walk

A new-born puppy left to die in a rubbish pile in a disused car park has been rescued by an older dog out on her daily walk.

Poppy, a terrier, was on a stroll with her owner in Tallaght, south Dublin, when she ran to a heap of debris in an almost derelict site behind the Belgard Inn pub.

She began nosing around the waste until she found the abandoned little white and tan coloured pup, thought to be a Jack Russell as young as seven days old.
