A passerby alerted police early Friday morning after finding one male and one female puppy “thrown to the side” along a path between a school and Barbara Road, the Randolph Police Department said in a Facebook post.
Police believe the abandonment occurred on or before Friday.
The puppies were rushed to VCA South Shore Weymouth Animal Hospital. Due to the extent of the male puppy’s injuries, he had to be euthanized, according to police.
The puppy that survived is doing well and being treated, WCVB reported.

They are asking those who may have seen suspicious activity in the area or who has knowledge of anyone breeding similar dogs to contact Detective Kevin Aldred as 781-963-1212.
