A bald puppy who looked more like a seal when she was rescued by the RSPCA has undergone an amazing transformation. The Staffordshire bull terrier, called Pearl, was only four-months-old when she was rescued from a house in Newcastle-upon-Tyne by the animal charity following reports from a concerned member of the public.
She was found to be completely bald after her owners failed to treat her serious skin disease. Inspector Rowena Proctor went to the property in April and when the door opened Pearl poked her head through the gap, allowing her to see the pup was bald and very underweight. Rowena offered to take her for emergency veterinary treatment to which the owners agreed. A vet found she was severely underweight and had an awful skin disease which had caused the fur loss and constant irritation.
