O P LIVE RESS The ANDALUCÍA

AN expat animal lover is furious after a neighbour’s dog died a ‘needless’ and painful death, despite €400 of medical bills.

Adi Jain, from Monda, tried everything to save the microchipped pet, who had got trapped on a spike in the metal fence of a chicken run.

The Indian estate agent managed to free the Mastiff cross with friends, after hearing his desperate yelps for help.

The dog was ‘clearly starving’ having not been fed for ‘at least three days’ explained Adi.

“I don’t understand how anyone can leave a beautiful dog like this,” he told the Olive Press Having somehow managed to extricate him, he was taken to the veterinary hospital, in Alhaurin, where he survived overnight.

However, shockingly the Spanish owner of the dog who was traced via its microchip told the clinic he no longer wished to keep the dog and refused to pay any medical bills.
