The man’s three dogs found on the premises were taken by the Mazarat Animal Rescue in Waterfall. “The dogs were so thirsty when they came in and were vomiting up bits of plastic and two had very upset stomaches. It appears that they were living off the contents of the trash bag. They have settled in though and seem to be very well adjusted so obviously had lots of affection from the man,” said a volunteer at Mazarat Animal Rescue.
