At just two months old, Pickle was handed to a vet to be put to sleep. The Greyhound had suffered a fracture to his hip and his owners decided the best thing to do was have him euthanised.
But while the vet they surrendered him to took on the responsibility of the little dog, he had other ideas and called on the help of a Co Tyrone charity to help save his life.
The pup underwent surgery and treatment to secure the fracture and after months of healing and rehabilitation thanks to the Malamute Sanctuary NI, little Pickle is today a year old and ready for action and a new home.
