Mya is a pitbull with brown fur that suffered one of the worst faces of the abusewell it was abandoned to his fate after his former owner sold his puppies in the parking lot of a supermarket in Connecticut, United States.
The dog was found by a good Samaritan while running near the intersection of Spindle Hill Road and Mad River Road, located in the town of Wolcott, Connecticut. Thanks to the concern of the Wolcott Dog Pound (WDP), local kennel, Mya was able to reunite with some of her puppies and slightly change her sad countenance.
Although Mya now enjoys the company of her offspring, some of them are still missing and the police believe they could be in the state of Massachusetts.
In a publication of FacebookWDP social media managers reported the discovery of Mya, who was found by a passerby who stopped and “held her” to make sure she had not been hit by a car.
“I would like to ask where your babies are, but I already know the answer and I know the excuses, but I have heard everything in the book,” the WDP members wrote in the Facebook post.
The dog had no collar, no tags, much less a microchip, so they had no information about its origin. The organization’s workers pointed out that she is a nursing mother and that she still produces milk in addition to being someone “young and sweet.”
Members of the kennel urged their followers to contact them or the Wolcott Police Department (WPD) in case you have information about the whereabouts of your puppies or their owner.
Roslyn Nenninger, Wolcott Animal Control officer, stated in an interview with the local media Eyewitness News 3 that the situation took a “significant” physical and mental toll on the pet.
“This affects his psyche and also his physical health because he is still producing milk and cannot feed or relieve it, so we are going to treat some physical and mental problems,” Nenninger lamented.
Shortly after arriving at the pound, officers were able to reunite the mother with three of her seven puppies, which were 8 days old at the time. The animal control service officer pointed out that this discovery achieved a great change in the dog’s mood, since since she was reunited, the mother cleans them and “loves” them and indicated that she no longer cries or howls like before.
Mya was abandoned by her former owner, who sold the puppies from his car in a Waterbury supermarket parking lot, according to local television.
Edward Stephens, chief of police, declared that this situation was “a terrible thing” that “should never happen.”
Two of the puppies who are now back with their mother were surrendered by a man who bought them and later helped find the third before reporting the situation to police.
“(The man) said it’s one of the hardest things to do, but it was the right thing to do. Yes, he loves dogs and had no bad intentions towards them,” Stephens noted.
At the moment three of the pups remain lost, as the pound announced over the weekend through Facebook that the fourth puppy was found.
From what the authorities told the television station, the rest of the litter could be in Massachusetts.
The efforts to reunite Mya with her babies were joined by Desmond’s Army, a group dedicated to the protection of animal rights, whose volunteers offered more than $5,000 as a reward to anyone who provides information that would help to arrest and prosecute the person responsible for the suffering. of the bitch
