A mistreated puppy looked "more like a seal” than a dog after going bald when her owners failed to treat her skin disease. The malnourished Staffordshire bull terrier, named Pearl, was just four months old when RSPCA staff discovered her in a home during April this year.
Inspector Rowena Proctor noticed the poorly pup in the doorway of the property in Newcastle. But Pearl has since made an “absolutely amazing” recovery and is enjoying a “healthy and happy” life while she waits to be adopted.
Rowena said: “The transformation she has undergone is absolutely amazing. She looked more like a seal than a puppy when I rescued her - now she looks just how you would expect and is so healthy and happy.
