The resident said this had been going on for two days in the veld.
On April 21, the Society searched for the dog for an hour before eventually finding it tied to the pole.
“When we found her she was dehydrated and starving,” Finnemore said.
“This incident is just heart-breaking. We cannot fathom how anyone would be so cruel as to leave their pet to die of starvation in the middle of a busy highway.
