He has spent almost 1,000 days in an RSPCA kennel after being rescued from a 'filthy' and 'hazardous' home when he was just days old.
Two-year-old Eric was rescued alongside his seven siblings in October 2019 and has been waiting around for his original owner to be brought to justice ever since.
The poor pooch has missed out on his entire puppyhood - but has learnt some necessary skills while staying at the RSPCA's Birmingham Animal Centre.
