Police investigating break-in find abandoned puppy

Police investigating a report of a disturbance, found out that the troublemaker was this abandoned a puppy that had lost its mum. The Newark response team made the discovery after being called to the Tolney Lane area at 10.36 pm on Tuesday (6th October). There was no sign of any occupants and on searching the outbuilding, the pup was found lying in its own feces without food and water. Officers took him back to the station where he was cleaned and lapped up some sustenance donated to them by local vets. Sergeant Simon Brooks from the Newark response team said: "We were carrying out a search of the vicinity and were shocked to come across the little pup who just stared back at us wide-eyed, forlorn and helpless. "We were devastated to see the disgusting conditions he was living in and immediately decided to take him back with us and give him the care he needed and should expect. He was clearly starving by the way he gulped down his food and water. "He's a great little character and we have not been short of volunteers to take the little lad home!" The team took great care of him throughout the night and handed him over to the morning shift who contacted Rachel Gough, dog warden for Newark and Sherwood District Council.
