This is the heart-warming moment three puppies were rescued after being dumped in a sack which was moments from being tossed into a rubbish truck.<br /><br />The pooches were stuffed in the yellow canvas sack which was tied and left among a pile of garbage in Malabon City, the Philippines on August 14.<br /><br />Concerned neighbour Myrna Asgari, who works nearby, saw a bin man collect the bag when she heard yapping and barking coming from inside.<br /><br />Myrna dashed over to intervene seconds before they were about to be killed by being hurled into the truck.<br /><br />The Good Samaritan said: "I heard the faint barking from inside the sack. Then when I saw them being picked up to be put in the truck I ran over to stop them.<br /><br />''The garbage collector said he was asked to dispose of the dogs because they have skin problems. I thought there was only one inside, when I opened it, there was three of them."<br /><br />Myrna called her brother to bring a cage so they can take the three home.<br /><br />She added: "One of them had a deformity in the legs. Maybe the previous owner kept them inside a small cage for a long time. They have abnormal growth as well.''<br /><br />The mixed-breed dogs could have been a result of failed breeding and were dumped after a while, she said.<br /><br />The three dogs were taken to Happy Endings shelter, a dog haven in Bulacan where they will be taken care of until they find a new home.<br /><br />All three of them are recovering well from the ordeal.
