When 58-year-old Paul Skinner was cycling with a friend, he saw something from the corner of his eyes that had him immediately slam on his breaks.
Something was moving in a ditch.
As he approached, he discovered a tired and almost lifeless cocker spaniel that had clearly been abandoned.
The dog also had a plastic bag in his mouth — and when Paul realized what was inside, the hair on his spine began to rise.
Jumped off his bike
“I was out cycling with my friend at the time. We spotted on the verge something that looked like a dead bird, but as we passed it it moved,” Paul told British paper Metro.

The dog, obviously deserted, was discovered in Lincolnshire, England.
“The dog was on its own, sitting licking the contents of a fish and chips carrier bag,” Paul adds.

Paul jumped off his bike and approached the dog. He could see no owners nearby.
That’s when he discovered the bag she held in her mouth.
