The dogs, thought to be between four and five weeks old, were discovered at about 6am on July 11 by a motorist in a layby in Staithes Road in the village of Preston.

The man said he pulled over to have a closer look when he noticed the bag moving. He found the distressed animals inside.

They were taken to the RSPCA Hull and East Riding Branch rehoming centre on Clough Road in a cardboard box by the finder later that morning, where staff ensured they received immediate veterinary care.
