The post, which garnered over 500 likes, also attracted a slew of comments protesting the dogs’ treatment. One commenter, Tony Leland said “This makes me sick! Why would you do this”

Another, by the name of Kaci Bunker urged the office to find the people responsible for the dumping. She said: “Y’all should figure out who left them for dead LOCKED up and do something about it. To not be able to care for thing is one thing and there are shelters they can take the dogs to. But to lock them in a carrier outside in this heat is cruel and a slow death.” She added “That’s not okay.”

Megan Murphy said Dallas Fort Worth has “got to do something about the population problem and the shelters overflowing.” She added: “People need to start being fined more, charged for abuse, and held accountable for backyard breeding.”

Charlie Geer said: “The same needs to be done to the POS that did this.. I hope they are reading this and see how inhumane they are! If they can leave puppies like this to die.. they have no love or respect for anyone else either!!!”
