This truck-load of smuggled pet dogs were rescued just moments before crooks were allegedly due to turn them into human FOOD. Charity Purr Paws Foundation were tipped off by a worried local who spotted the pets being stuffed in a bus luggage rack and tied on to the back of a truck. They sprang into action and dispatched a van of volunteers who joined the police in a joint sting on the van which was destined for a slaughterhouse in India. The 17 yelping pooches were all taken in by the charity and found new homes within a day, and police are now investigating.
