DAYTON -- Meet Otis and Opal! These two Miniature Pinscher mixes were found abandoned in the cold.
"Very sad they were cold they were nervous they were very screamy because they didn't know what to think," said Caitlin Lewis of the Humane Society.
Someone put the four dogs in a cardboard box next to a dumpster at the BP and left. Someone else heard the dogs wrestling in the box and got them some help.
Investigators don't know who did this to Otis and Opal, but dog lover Butch Richardson says it happens far too often.
"It's not surprising but it's always sad," said Richardson. "Not enough money or they getting over their head with how much work it is to take care of puppies. They are a lot of work until he gets about six month old to housebreak them to feed them."
Not too mention the fees for dropping off puppies. The most the owner would have been charged in this case is $50 for the litter.
"When you bring them they charge you to do that," said Richardson. "And people just don't have the money to do that."
The Humane Society does a lot of it's work based off of donations and sometimes the fees "might encourage the owner to keep them instead of bring them in or find another friend to do it," said Richardson.
But as for Otis and Opal, now they are with the Humane Society and but still need a real home. You can get these guys tomorrow from 12 to 4 at the Pet-Smart at the Dayton Mall.
As for the other two dogs, they will also be available once they have been spayed and neutered.
