We are fundraising to purchase a plaque for the poor puppy buried alive in a Lancashire Park and any excess donations will go to the local animal shelters.

The RSPCA has launched an investigation after a puppy was found ‘buried alive’ in a Leyland field in a ‘hideous act of cruelty’. A dog walker was out on Saturday (April 27) training their working dogs when they made the shocking discovery. RSPCA Inspector Alison Fletcher, who is now investigating, said: “When the dogs didn’t return their owner went to find them and realised they’d sniffed out a mound of disturbed earth in the middle of the field. "When they looked closely they spotted a little cream-coloured head poking out of the ground. The puppy had been wrapped up in a bin bag and buried alive.” The dog walker took the tiny male pup home and immediately alerted the RSPCA to the find - made in a field off Shaw Brook Road, behind Worden Park. Inspector Fletcher added: “The puppy is around nine-weeks-old and we believe he is a Pomeranian type. He had a broken front leg and a broken rear leg so was unable to walk or move.
