Abandoned by cruel owners
Two chihuahuas abandoned when their owners went on holiday have been saved by police in Yorkshire, England. The dogs, named Toby and Chloe, were left without food or water and were facing death if not rescued on time.
The distressed pups were taken in by Helping Yorkshire Poundies charity that contacted their owners upon their return from their trip. To the shelter's heartbreak, the family wanted nothing to do with their dogs anymore and gave them up immediately.

Emotional Facebook post
In a heartbreaking Facebook post, written on behalf of the unwanted pooches, the animal welfare charity wrote:
We were rescued by the police after we were left to fend for ourselves in the house when my owners went on holiday and didn’t want us back. We couldn’t believe it…our little legs couldn’t find food or water for ourselves – it was horrible being alone and hungry.
The dogs are now looking for a new loving home and can be rehomed together or separately. The charity reveals that even though the pups ‘get on OK’, they occasionally get ‘fed up’ with each other.
Toby has just been neutered and is currently recovering in the shelter.
