A dog has been pictured looking fit and well after having suffered in "horrendous" conditions along with 55 other animals where some were caked in faeces, "almost feral" and even blind due to possible inbreeding.
The puppy, Lacey, was found at a property in Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland in October, 2020, alongside the other dogs, who were living in a house and sheds.
Animal welfare officers said that the animals had ben deprived of water, natural light and many were sick. There was a lack of ventilation and with a build up of faeces meant there was an “overpowering stench of ammonia”.
