Video shows small dogs living in filthy conditions in Cork home

One of the little dogs was just a step away from death.

ISPCA inspectors have rescued three small dogs from squalid conditions in the back garden of a house in the Youghal area of Cork, writes Padraig Hoare.

Inspector Lisa O’Donovan discovered the dogs living in a filthy back garden, littered with debris and faeces, with no access to clean water or food. The only shelter available to the dogs was a cage with a dirty duvet inside. Inspector O’Donovan visited on a rainy day, and found the duvet was soaking wet.
