At just eight months, this huge St Bernard puppy will be looking for her fifth home after she is rehabilitated by a rescue group urging people to stop trading dogs on Gumtree.
The pup, called Dakota, was advertised on the buy and sell site as "a St Bernard pup, typical Beethoven. Big goofy harmless baby".
But the team at Friends of Rescue say she is terrified and barks and growls, tries to hide from humans having suffered some very bad experiences in her short life. Today she is in her fourth home, a loving foster home where she is safe and in time it is hoped she will find the perfect forever home - which will be her fifth.
