” He was purposefully tossed into the river which is despicable, and I am beyond words regarding how anybody might maltreat a faithful, caring dog and after that toss him in the hazardous water like a piece of rubbish.
” Please if you saw anything or identify River, who had a piece of pink lead around his neck, help us to bring these terrible individuals to justice.”.
On the method to Christmas, individuals are being prompted to be mindful if they are considering purchasing a puppy as a present.
