After the local authorities received multiple tips from residents that animals were being held in cruel conditions, police officers and local animal welfare workers went to a property that was breeding Moscow Watchdogs.

Sadly, the reports were all too accurate.

According to the Opole police, the animals were kept in filthy stables and leaky kennels that didn't meet the health requirements. Some of the dogs that were found there were also not in good health.
