A puppy abandoned and left to fend for itself.

We found Tilly, our third dog, in the same area as we found Connie. It was a cold, wet Monday morning when my husband saw a tiny puppy on a hill in a quiet lane. She was wet and muddy and cold and no more than 6 weeks old. We gave her a little food and a warm wash to remove the mud. She was a cuddly little thing and could not have been alone for long, she looked as though she had a mother somewhere who had done a good job. I was relieved to see that she was weaned. She cried in the night and ended up beside me in the bedroom. It was a disturbed night with lots of trips into the garden. Tilly settled down immediately, she is an independant and bright little dog. She looks as though she has some Jack Russell in her and she is tireless. She is an aspiring Pack Leader but as she is only half the size of Elsa she has to behave herself, which she learned to do very quickly. She is, however, the first to raise the alarm if strangers venture near the house.
