A dog who was so badly neglected by her owner is thought to have eaten the tip of her tail due to extreme hunger.
Two-year-old Poppy was rescued from Kyla Martin, of Bycars Road, Burslem, and taken to the RSPCA's Alsager Animals in Need to receive emergency treatment.
The Cheshire-based charity initially feared she might not survive the night - but have now put her up for adoption.
