'Unforgivable': Eight-week-old pups with life-threatening virus abandoned in rubbish pile

Eight-week-old Pan and Crumb were left to die in rubbish, according to the DSPCA.

Ireland's oldest and largest animal rescue charity, the DSPCA, has spoken of its distress after two puppies with a potentially life-threatening virus were found in a box on a pile of rubbish.

The eight-week-old "helpless little puppies" Pan and Crumb were discovered in rubbish in Finglas yesterday after a person heard their cries.
