Abandoned puppy rescued from city skip

An abandoned puppy has been rescued after an eagle-eyed runner spotted her discarded in a rubbish skip.

The female pup has now been named Skippy by the Scottish SPCA officers who rescued her.

They were alerted after the runner noticed the dog, a black terrier cross who is five to six months old, after she was abandoned in a skip on Glasgow Green

Scottish SPCA inspector Elaine Lindsay said: “We are very lucky the puppy was seen, as she was hiding under a cardboard box and was difficult to spot under all the rubbish in the skip.”
