Pregnant chihuahua dies while giving birth to puppies after owner DUMPS her in box
A PREGNANT chihuahua died while giving birth to puppies after her owners dumped her in a box.
The chihuhua was dumped while she was pregnant
The dog was discovered in "an extremely poorly state" inside a cat carrier in Gregg's Wood Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Two dead puppies were lying next to her, and another two were still waiting to be born, an RSPCA spokesman said.
The dog was found in an animal carrier box
The chihuahua was taken to vets for treatment but she was too weak to be induced or have a caesarean, and she died last Friday.

Appealing for information about where the dog came from, RSPCA inspector Rachel Smith said: "The sight of this poor little dog was utterly heart-breaking.
"She was just so ill, and going through an extremely difficult labour, and yet just dumped and left to suffer.
"It was horrible to see the suffering she endured, which was just so unnecessary and could have been easily avoided if she had been taken to the vets earlier for help."
