A resilient three-legged dog whose 'drive for life' helped her survive one horrific accident now faces another difficult fight.
Little Willa was abandoned by her first owners after an accident with a tractor left her needing a leg amputation at just six months old. Rather than take home a three-legged dog, her owners left her with vets to be put to sleep - but the vet "saw something special" in Willa, and had her signed over to the care of the practice where they carried out the life-saving operation.
When Jess Fox and Katie Markham, from Heaton, heard Willa's story, they knew they had to make her part of their family. Adopted just before Christmas, Willa was loving life with Katie and dog walker Jess, who owns local business Jess Fox & Hound, keeping pace with the other dogs despite her missing leg.
