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 in. Despite being microchipped, Larry’s registered owner callously admitted to giving him away “to a fella in the pub,” sparking widespread outrage over the neglect and mistreatment of the dog. The rescue center shared heartbreaking updates, revealing that Larry’s liver and kidneys were severely damaged, and he passed away within 24 hours of rescue.

The case has prompted calls for stronger enforcement against animal cruelty, with many expressing anger and sorrow on social media. My Lovely Horse Rescue urged the public to support their ongoing efforts to care for abused and neglected animals, highlighting the urgent need for better protection and accountability for pets in similar situations.
