Dead puppies 'drowned and dumped'

The bodies of eight Labrador puppies have been discovered dumped in Kent, the RSPCA has revealed.

Inspectors said they were trying to find out who left the dead dogs, all about 12 weeks old, in a hedgerow in Wrotham Heath, near Sevenoakes.

The puppies, three chocolate coloured, three golden and two black, are thought to have been drowned.

The RCPCA think the dogs were all from the same litter and have appealed for information.

RSPCA Inspector Rachel Smith said: "These puppies were probably taken here by a vehicle and dumped in the hedgerow, so someone may have seen something.

"We would ask for anyone know knows who dumped these puppies to come forward and contact us."
