| Family pet left to die at Christmas
A PUPPY has suffered a slow and agonising death after being abandoned by its callous owners in another example of animal cruelty in Newry.
The body of the terrier, which is thought to have been there for some weeks, was discovered by police in the citys Fairlawns Avenue area a few days before Christmas.
It is understood a patrol was investigating a burglar alarm which was sounding from a vacant house. After going round the back of the property, the officers found the dead puppy, which was wearing a red collar, in a small enclosure. Poignantly, an empty bowl was lying beside the body.
While it has yet to be confirmed who was living in the house, it is believed that the owners were either squatters or tenants and had left abruptly, leaving what is believed to have been a family pet alone in the property.
