A FREEZING cold and ill Dalmatian has been found alone at a bus stop.

The RSPCA has launched an appeal to find the owners of the dog, which is named Harvey, after he was found by a member of the public.

Harvey is believed to be about three years old and was so weak he could barely lift his head or wag his tail, and was suffering from diarrhoea.

After being discovered at the bus stop near Shedfield Common vets at Animed Veterinary Practice struggled to raise his temperature because he was so cold.

The RSPCA has launched an appeal to find the owners of the dog, named Harvey, who may be missing from owners in Wales.

He knows his name and is microchipped with a registered address in Ynysybwl, Pontypridd - however the phone numbers on the chip are not recognised.

RSPCA inspector Tina Ward is now appealing to the public to help trace his owners.

She said: "Animed have done a fantastic job helping Harvey and he has already made so much progress. He is now at an RSPCA centre to continue on his road to recovery.

"We are desperate to know how he came to be in this state and where his owners are.

"We hope someone in Wales or in the Hampshire area may recognise him and come forward. You can call our inspectorate line in confidence on 0300 123 8018."
