Mugsy, I so agree with you, when I see stuff like this I am ashamed to be a human when that is what humans can do.
They were so good when they came in the centre, got examined with no sign of protest. Later on in the programme they were shown at the place where they have to stay, not only to get better but also while the case is being investigated, getting weighed again -they had put on a little weight - and then outside on the leash, they were so good and they looked so much happier already.
I am not really sure breed or mixes they are. Candy is the light brown dog and, though you can`t tell by the photo, is a lot smaller than Bonny and also isn`t quite so thin, she has a broadish head that is a bit staffie looking and a thin tail. Bonny, the black dog, looks very like a Dane, but not quite so tall, she is so thin its unbelieveable how she is still alive - the vet said she is an example of the worst types he has seen, and he has seen a lot!
