That was the case recently, when two police officers happened to be in the โright place, right timeโ to save six puppies from unimaginable cruelty.
According to a Facebook post from Durham Constabulary, in Durham, United Kingdom, two police constables were on the highway when they noticed a vehicle parked on the side of the road, with a man in his 50s standing beside the vehicle.
Stopping to check that everything was in order, the officers noticed the man โswinging a sealed carrier bagโ on the edge of the bank.
Putting their lights on to get a better look, they saw the man โflingโ the carrier bag onto the front seat. As the officers approached, they noticed a squealing noise coming from the same bag the man had just been swinging around.
The constables investigated, untied the sealed-up bag, and discovered that there were six Cocker Spaniel puppies inside โ so young they hadnโt even opened their eyes yet.
โThe puppies were riddled with fleas and if weโd have passed just seconds before, we would have been none the wiser,โ said PC Liam Vernon, according to the departmentโs Facebook post.
One officer questioned the driver and the other made arrangements for the puppies to be safely picked up and brought to a vet for treatment.
The driver was reportedly arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty, money laundering and trafficking in a controlled drug, and taken into custody. The man has since been released on bail while the investigation continues. Officers also carried out a warrant of his address, and in their search also rescued the puppiesโ mother and father.
The dogs were reunited with their puppies, and the whole family received treatment. Thankfully, the dogs are reportedly making full recoveries.
Even better, the department said that arrangements have been made for the entire litter to go to a loving new home.
Itโs a very happy ending for these puppies, who were clearly saved in the nick of time before something terrible might have happened to them.
โBoth myself and Luke are huge dog lovers, so it has been one of those jobs which has really stuck with us,โ PC Liam Vernon said. โWeโve hardly stopped thinking about it but are just glad to have saved them โ it really was right place, right time.โ
These six puppies were in such cruel, dangerous hands, but thankfully these officers saved them just in time!
