A dog walker's disturbing find in a plastic bag dumped in a field shows just how much the cost of living crisis is devastating families.
A 'very skinny' Jack Russell puppy was discovered inside a shopping bag discarded on a field in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom, on Friday.
An image of the bag was shared by the RSPCA, which hopes to find those responsible.
'Times are hard right now — but we'd always urge any animal owners grappling with costs to reach out for help,' it said in a statement.
As the heartbreaking find raises concerns in the UK, statistics show that financial hardship is also taking a toll on Aussie pet owners.
According to the RSPCA Western Australia, there has been a significant increase in pet owners seeking to surrender their pets during the first three months of 2024.
