Sick puppies abandoned in Kent woods

Six puppies have been abandoned by their owner in isolated woods near High Halden in Kent - with a skin condition so severe, they were close to death.

By chance, a walker found them and they've now been nursed back to health by the RSPCA.

The charity says they would have been bred by an unlicensed puppy farm - and is warning owners only to buy from rescue centres or registered breeders.

RSPCA Inspector, Rosie Russon, says buyers are often tricked into thinking they're buying from a home breeder.

Abigail Bracken's full report includes an interview with Kameron Stroud, who found the puppies in the woods last month.
