Blind puppy dumped in field
Fears for litter after ‘cruel case’
A PUPPY with no eyes has been abandoned in Llanelli.
It was found by a member of the public among trees in Llanerch.
Carmarthenshire Council’s dog warden service is investigating.
The male dog is thought to be around 10 weeks old, and has a rare condition known as microphthalmia. He is also likely to be deaf.
The puppy was being cared for by one of the council’s dog wardens, and a foster home was being arranged through organisations the council works with.
Robert Williams, principal environmental health officer at the authority, said: “We did have concerns that other pups in the same litter may have been born with the same condition, so we have revisited the whole area to check if any other pups had been dumped, but thankfully no other dogs have been found.”
Councillor Philip Hughes, executive board member for public protection, added: “This is an extremely cruel case, and we would like to know who could have done this.
“We are very grateful to Brendan, our dog warden, who has gone above the call of duty to care for the puppy overnight.
“Despite his rare condition, we hope that he will have a good life with a new owner who will give him the care and support he needs.”
