Once again, as they begin their Facebook post, the animal shelter Os Palleiros in Pontevedra must share some distressing images.
In cold blood…
The scene unfolded in the early hours of January 2nd. After midnight, a car pulled up in front of a shelter to abandon what could be described as "possibly the best friend these people have ever had or will ever have."
The shelter later shared footage from its security camera, showing a white car parking outside its premises. After a few moments, the vehicle moved forward, possibly to obscure its license plate.
Two women then emerged from the car and tied a light-coloured puppy to the shelter's door. They left behind only a bowl of water and some food.
The puppy escapes and is believed to have been run over
After a few minutes, the dog manages to break free. It runs through the gate and disappears into a neighbouring farm.
The following morning, the shelter received a report of a dog that had been run over and died on the road to Villagarcía. After seeing the photo of the animal and comparing it with the video, they believe it to be the same dog.
The images are now in the hands of the police to try to identify those responsible.
