A dog looked like a "pile of rags" after being neglected for months.
Larry, believed to be a poodle/Maltese type dog, was unable to move freely as his coat had become so matted. After being found on the streets, the RSPCA stepped in and shaved off more than 1.7kg of fur.
When the 13-year-old dog was found, vets said he was in such a shocking state that it was hard to tell what breed he was. He is now being looked after in at the RSPCA’s Wirral and Chester branch animal home in Wallasey.
