An abused puppy was handed into a no-kill animal shelter after she was found with a hairband tightly tied around her snout.
The hairband was so "deeply embedded, it went down to the bone" and left her with intense swelling that doubled the size of her little face.
Vets at Cincinnati Animal CARE in the US provided her with "immediate treatment" and removed the hairband then stitched up the gaping gash.
