A neglected Staffordshire bull terrier was found in an awful condition. The 14-year-old animal, now named Gerry, was dehydrated and malnourished when he was rescued. He also had rotten teeth and a missing toe.
Life is now looking up for the pooch, who is thought to have suffered a tough time. Gerry is now being cared for at the National Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT) in Cornwall.
He was brought in by the dog warden with untreated rotten teeth, a number of lumps and bumps, and a missing toe, and sadly these were just some of the ways he had been neglected.
