This video shows seven adorable one-week-old puppies that were abandoned and left to die - when they were put out with the RUBBISH.

The tiny animals were placed in a cardboard box next to the bins on collection day and were only saved when a passer-by heard their yelps and went to investigate.

Animals in Distress are now caring for the puppies, and have said that the heavy rain that fell half an hour after they were found would have killed them.
