Two puppies are now recovering after being found trapped inside a glass aquarium in central Mississippi.

Matt Williamson, of Hinds County, Miss. discovered the brown and white puppies while looking for his own dog near an abandoned bridge, WAPT-TV reported.

The lid of the small aquarium was sealed shut.

"As I got closer, I saw these eyes peering out at me and they looked like they needed help. That's when I called authorities," Williamson told the news station.

"They were put in here to drown," he said. "They wanted these puppies to drown in here."

The puppies were taken to Mississippi Animal Rescue League. The dogs were skittish and were running a fever.

The puppies are expected to be available for adoption soon.
