An adorable puppy was found tied up, emaciated and close to death in a park.
Norman the English Mastiff cross-breed weighed just 10kg when he was found abandoned in Cannock, Staffordshire, along with his two siblings.
He was brought back from the brink of death by Sunnyside Kennels in Wolverhampton before being adopted by Sarah Mapp, 38, and her husband Michael, who nursed him back to full health. But no sooner had the 14-month-old pup settled into his new home in October, tragedy struck, as the family discovered he was suffering from a severe case of hip dysplasia - which can only be corrected by specialist vets at the University of Liverpool Small Animal Practice.
