Luckily, Tampa police came to the rescue. After an neighbor’s call, officers discovered a teeny, nearly newborn pup in the trash. Scared, the mama dog was on the trash bin frantically trying to get at her baby.

Soon, other pups were discovered under a nearby shed. The image of horror and cruelty is hard to take. Why would these pups be thrown out as if they were worthless?
