Rescuers claim the dog, believed to be 10 years old, was hardly able to walk properly, adding that it is believed that he was deliberated starved and spent his life chained up.

Bethowen was removed from the property and taken to the Animalsi Foundation Animal Shelter. Two cats were also taken from the property.

Staff at the Animalsi shelter posted pictures of Bethowen showing his shocking condition on their Facebook page, as reported by MailOnline.

The post said: “'The whole of Poland is reeling from the drama that took place in one of the towns in the Stara Kiszewa commune. We are receiving more and more blood-curdling information from everywhere.

“We were there to secure the animals staying there – Bethowen, a nice senior citizen Róa, and two cats are already here in the shelter. But we are shocked that the big St Bernard weighs only 28kg and has spent his entire life on a chain.

“The dog needs more thorough examination and certainly treatment (you can immediately see his sick eyes). Currently, he can barely stand, so we will provide him with good quality meals several times a day. Thankfully he does have a good appetite.

“We are convinced that in a few months Bethowen will be a beautiful and strong dog. Pets will no longer return to their previous owners.”

Officers found the remains of three dead babies hidden in the walls of the basement of the property. Two of the three babies were wrapped in plastic sheeting according to reports.

Locals fear the family may have many more hidden around the property. The cottage was occupied by the widowed Piotr, his daughter Paulina and her 24-year-old mentally disabled brother.

Footage from inside the disgusting basement has since been revealed, seen through a hole in the wall. The interior showed no flooring, exposed pipes and apparently was the location where officers found the three dead babies.

Police say they found two of the three dead youngsters wrapped in plastic in shallow graves. A third body was confirmed a day later, found in an "advanced state of decomposition".

Prosecutors claim that at least two of the murdered children were a result of an incestuous relationship between Piotr and Paulina. Claiming the third was born from Piotr's rape of an older daughter.

He has now been charged with three counts of murder, one count of incest with Paulina, and the rape of his older daughter. Paulina has also been charged with incest and two counts of murder of her infants.
