PITTSBURGH — A mail carrier found five puppies in a box on the side of a road last week.
According to a post from FurKid Rescue in South Park, the puppies were severely dehydrated and lethargic.
When a volunteer from the rescue arrived, there were only four puppies. Multiple people searched the surrounding area for the fifth puppy, but were unable to find it.

The puppies were taken to an emergency vet, but unfortunately, one of them died when it arrived. The rescue said the person who transported the puppy tried to give him CPR, but he was too weak.
The other three puppies tested positive for parvovirus. Later that day, another one of the puppies died.
