An eight-month-old Jack Russell named Larry, rescued by My Lovely Horse Rescue in Dublin after being found abandoned and struggling to breathe, tragically died from suspected poisoning shortly after being taken into care. The rescue center revealed that Larry’s registered owner had callously given him away “to a fella in the pub,” showing a shocking disregard for the dog’s welfare. Despite urgent veterinary treatment, Larry’s condition worsened due to liver and kidney damage, leading to his heartbreaking death within 24 hours of rescue.

The case has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many condemning the cruelty and neglect Larry endured and calling for stronger enforcement of animal protection laws. My Lovely Horse Rescue expressed deep sorrow over the loss and urged the public to support their ongoing efforts to care for abused and abandoned animals through donations. The incident highlights the urgent need for greater accountability and compassion towards vulnerable pets.
