An elderly dog who was so severely matted the RSPCA was unsure what breed he might be has undergone a remarkable transformation.
Shih Tzu Moses, who was found in a house on the outskirts of Derby, had a faeces and urine-soaked coat that was described as a "hardened shell" by RSPCA inspector Pamela Bird.
The nine-and-a-half year old had to have more than half a kilo (1.5 pounds) of his stinking fur shaved off.
