At first, it looked like an ordinary sight when a group of kayakers on the Blackstone River in Massachusetts saw a potato sack floating in the water. But as they got closer, they heard soft whimpering sounds coming from inside the sack. As the kayakers took the sack out of the water and saw six newborn puppies tied up inside, their amazement turned to worry.
All of the puppies were still alive, which was a miracle, and the kayakers swiftly got to work saving them. They called the police, and the Uxbridge Police Department took over the case. Police Chief Jeffrey Lourie said that the puppies were just around seven days old and would have died if they hadn’t been saved in time.
The authorities are currently looking into the matter and trying to find the person who did this horrible act of animal cruelty. Uxbridge Animal Control is taking care of the puppies, and people in the area are working together to find them everlasting homes. Chief Lourie said it best: “Obviously, this is a heinous act, unconscionable.” The puppies are safe, and the whole neighbourhood is working together to make sure they get the love and care they need.
