I lifted ‘it’ up to look more closely, and to my amazement I realised that it really was a puppy. I had it in the palm of my hand and it was yelping and struggling; kicking its tiny paws.

I put it down in the shade of the bins and looked at it thinking what to do. How could it survive without its Mother and in this heat?

“Have you got a hammer or spanner in the car?” One of my friends said, “We’ll have to put it out of its misery; it won’t survive.”

I looked up and said, “Even if I did, I could never do that. Look! It’s fighting to survive against all the odds. It deserves a chance.”

I pulled my mobile out of my pocket and called Valerie.

“Best get ready with a towel, we’re on a rescue mission. I’m on my way back to get you”

I drove to the house and collected Valerie and the towel and explained what had happened as I drove back to the bin area. I was hoping that we were still in time to try and save the puppy.

We arrived, and there it was; still alive. Just. It was clearly exhausted, but still crying and obviously very distressed. The temperature was extremely high; heaven knows what it was like inside the bag under all the rubbish!
