RAVENS RESCUE AT Kingswinford were given the two female puppies found on a canal towpath wrapped in a wet cardboard box.
With Sarah Price of the rescue naming them Vixen and Comet and treated them for worms and gave them essential fluids and nourishment, Janet Friend reports.
Did not make it
But Vixen alas did not make it, though given their best attention, Sarah explaining:
"Unfortunately, Vixen didn't make it and we lost her. Comet is the bigger sister and seemed a little stronger and she's been doing okay but it is very early days.
"We can let her go to one of our foster homes for more care now—she has a feed like, every 20 to 30 minutes—but we're on hand if anything happens. She really is riddled with worms."

Nobody knows who dumped the puppies but Sarah appealed for anyone who may know to come forward
The three tiny dachshund puppies were found dumped in a soaking cardboard box on the canal towpath in Wolverhampton, with someone contacting a vet, who passed them on to the charity that looks after dogs and cats, etc.
One already died
One puppy had already died and the two others were taken in by Ravens Rescue UK near Dudley but a second, nicknamed Vixen, also died. However, little Comet was now responding well to treatment, the charity said, despite being riddled with worms.
Sarah Price told:
"Somebody surely knows them or if there are any more in the litter, or how mum is doing?
"We need to find who did this and they need to face the consequences—they could have gone to any vet, somebody would have helped them."
The charity has since received plenty of offers to home Comet.
