Four puppies have died after 13 were seized in Dublin Port last weekend, according to the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA). The 13 puppies were in two litters, terrier-cross pups and German shepherd-cross pups, and were in crates stuffed between the front and back seats of a car being driven onto a ferry. Five of the pups were German shepherds and four of them tested positive for the Parvo virus. Puppies seized at Dublin Port. “If you are buying from that source you are probably buying a dog that has been bred for profit” Ms Bird said.
