An adorable dog has been left terrified of the rain after her ears were brutally cropped as a puppy. The two-year-old bulldog named Lyla doesn't like going outside when it's raining because the water gets in her ears and feels uncomfortable.
Lyla's previous owner cruelly performed the banned procedure at home, but thankfully she was rescued by the RSPCA shortly after. Kelly and Jake Mattison, of Stockport, Greater Manchester, then adopted "angel" girl Lyla and are smitten with her, but say it's heartbreaking when she's unhappy.
