| Elderly dog thrown in trash to die Pringles the Yorkie was discovered in a trashcan on the morning of Oct. 3 in North Philadelphia when a passer-by heard noises coming from a trashcan and found the severely injured dog clinging on to life. The dog was found underneath a layer of trash and the person who discovered the animal immediately called the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control Team. Pringles was then transported to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Pennsylvania SPCA) for immediate treatment and was listed in critical condition, according to the organization. The Pennsylvania SPCA released a statement at the time of Pringles’ discovery. “Our Shelter Hospital team is doing everything in their power to save the life of Pringles, who is in a very delicate state,” said Nicole Wilson Director of Humane Law Enforcement & Operations at the Pennsylvania SPCA. “This dog had sustained serious injuries and instead of seeking help someone threw her away like she was a piece of trash. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who alerted authorities, we hope to give Pringles a second chance at the life she deserves.” A Pennsylvania SPCA Facebook fundraiser garnered more than $3,000 for Pringles in just 4 days before the PSPCS released a statement on Monday saying that Pringles and succumbed to her injuries. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news that our sweet Pringles passed away yesterday. While we are all shattered by this, we hope that we can all find comfort in the fact that she did not die in a trash can scared and alone, but instead was surrounded by love, the best medical treatment available, and the support of so many in the city of Philadelphia and far beyond.”

| It is totally disgusting what ppl will do to such a wee little dog and a senior too. I would not trust a person that can abuse a animal around small children. Unfortunately this owner will never be known and punished for this crime, how do ppl do this, it just blows my mind.

| My heart hurts in that it's only a matter of fate that the poor other dog ended up where it did and not in a loving home like YorkieTalk dogs have. |
