A 13-week-old puppy is looking for a new home after he was cruelly abandoned inside a sodden crisp box with a broken leg.

Valentine, named after the day he was discovered, February 14, was found by dogs’ home worker Emma Cooper who said she was ‘horrified’ to see him abandoned in the cold.

The terrier cross puppy was treated right away and has since been recovering from his ordeal in Leeds.

Emma Cooper, from the Dogs’ Trust Leeds, said: ‘He was cold, shaking, and visibly distressed but after a lot of care and attention, he is now slowly on the mend.

‘We still cannot believe someone would do this on what is supposed to be a day all about love and we hope, after a horrible start in life, he can finally find his forever home.’
