‘I came to work in the morning and found the dog tied up on the main road looking sad and scared.

‘I got told by other people that he’d been tied up for more than an hour, and I fed and watered him as he’d been left with nothing and then called the dog warden to pick him up.’

Adam Read was quick to praise Dobson for his quick-thinking which potentially saved the dog’s life and said: ‘Hats off to Graham Dobson, well done that man. Pets are for life.’

Many have reacted with anger for the owner’s decision to dump him on the side of the road.

Emma Jane Simpson said: ‘They should of taken him to a rescue centre. The staff wouldn’t have judged them at all am sure they have heard most reasons why people can’t keep their pets!

‘Poor dog, better chance of going to the right home if owners left details i.e. good with cats; not great with kids etc! K*** h****.’
