FIVE puppies who were buried alive in a field in Highercroft, Blackburn, have all found loving homes.

The nine-day-old pups who had not opened their eyes were found by 15-year-old Murad Khan when he was out playing with his friends.

His mother Freda, of Thornton Close, made the appeal after he brought them home.

Their new owners will pick up them up in a few weeks after the RSPCA gives the pups the all-clear.
