I have just seen this, don’t look if the sight of a starving dog upset you

I'm glad the dog is okay now

These are all too often the same type/personality who torture and abuse the children in their care

Evil scum bags.
I hope the inmates get wind ofwhat they have done,i`m pretty sure they will do something to the evil pair.

Do these "people" have friends/family?
Where are they when this is going on?

Miss A ‘these people’ seem to find each other and not challeng. I wonder how the rspca got involved. Maybe someone they know couldn’t stand seeing this poor dog and made a call

Iam64 The couple themselves reported the dog to the local council. They lied and said they had found it abandoned. After an appeal people came forward and said the pair had actually owned the dog themselves.

The rotten swines also had another dog, a staffy which whilst not starved was very thin and had mites. Poor little souls.

Why do people like these have animals?

The Staffie is still at Berwick rescue centre. They are looking to rehome him but I assume, given it’s taking a long time to do so, he has behavioural problems.

Heart rending, terrible to think there are animals about in this condition.
Glad there was a happy outcome for the dog.

It is so easy to keep a dog well. I'm reminded of A Little Dog's Prayer.

A master who is firm and kind.
And understands a doggy mind;
A walkies and a meal each day -
That's all I ask for when I pray.

Thanks Coastpath and MayBe70 for that information. What strange behaviour all round from the owners.
I hope these dogs can be successfully adopted but a staffing with behavioural problems won’t be easy to place or care for.

My experience of rescues is its 3-6 months before their true personalities show. I’ve been very lucky in having 3 who became legends in our family.

Cruelty to children and animals is so distressing

Pity we haven’t got a picture of the recovered dog to cheer us up.

There is a picture of tiggy recovered, it is the small picture in the article.. what I can’t get over is that it must’ve taken months to get that poor dog in that state and they must’ve been enjoying watching him suffer for all that time And yes I would publicly birch them given the opportunity then three years in prison with just bread and water barely enough to keep THEM alive ??

Please tell me they’ll never have kids together. ??

Ohmother, or with anyone else

We took on a four year old rescue dog who had been similarly neglected.
He'd been in the RSPCA kennels for three months when we adopted him but you could still see the vertebrae in his spine, he'd been so underweight. He still had bad skin from a flea infestation.
He'd lived with a family in our town and was basically turned out of the house every day and just ran around the streets with all the local children. He nearly went under a bus and the RSPCA took him in, then we found him.
After a couple of months we had a visit from the RSPCA to check if he'd settled in ok.
The inspector had tears in her eyes and said she was so glad she'd made the difficult decision to take him off the previous family.
He had the nicest nature and was wonderful with my minded children. We had him a further fourteen years; he was a legend.
RIP Casper.

I’m just glad there are photos of their pathetic faces so people will know who they are and what they’ve done ….. I might be wrong but I think I read they were from Northumberland

Yes. Tiggy was taken to BARK, the animal recuse centre in Berwick. Enzo is still there.
