Retail workers were left shocked after a dying dog was found dumped in a bin bag behind a Tesco supermarket.
The RSPCA has launched an investigation after the pooch was discovered abandoned next to rubbish inside a tied black bin liner.
The animal was found in Church Road, Yardley, Birmingham at 1.30pm on Sunday.
He was unable to stand because of breaks to his neck, back, legs and ribs, was covered in mange and severely underweight.

The neglected pup, which was around six months old, was rushed to Birmingham Animal Hospital.
However, he sadly died while on the treatment table.
RSPCA inspectors said he may have been an XL Bully breed but because he was in such a bad condition it was impossible to tell.
Now, they are appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.

RSPCA animal rescue officer Beccie Doherty said: " This poor dog was terrified and in pain, and covered in his own waste as he was unable to stand to go to the toilet.
"It's sickening that someone chose to treat an animal in this heartless way, and even more distressing to think they simply dumped him to die in a bag they decided to throw away.
"The people who found him kindly tried their best to make him comfortable. Sadly, he was barely alive when I arrived. He was completely emaciated, covered in mange, and had broken bones.
"I rushed him to RSPCA Birmingham Animal Hospital where vets and nurses tried everything to stabilise him but unfortunately he died on the table.
"This is the sad reality of animal rescue at a time we're seeing a rise in such cases.
"I just hope someone will recognise him and help us track down those responsible for leaving him to die in a bag with such horrendous injuries and in such a neglected state."

It comes after an XL Bully dog was found dead after its legs were bound together and set alight.
RSPCA inspectors found the mutt in a London alleyway on December 30.
XL Bully dogs aged one or over after the legislative change must be neutered by June 30.
Younger dogs must receive the same treatment by December 3.
