THE two abused dogs that were rescued from Diego Martin last week are now fondly called Jess and Jeremiah. And they still need help.
Last Thursday, police rescued the two dogs from St Lucien Road, Diego Martin, from an allegedly abusive owner. The malnourished dogs were behind a gate with signs saying “Keep away,” and “Stop feeding the dogs.
Residents claimed the dogs’ owner was not feeding them, as she said doing so would lead to “rats breeding on her property.”
Animal lovers made the issue go viral on social media and the police stepped in.
