Strictly Come Dancing's Karen Hauer 'saves' puppy left for dead on roadside

Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer has revealed how she saved a dog that had been 'left for dead at the side of a road'. The pro dancer is passionate about pooches and owns several rescues herself, and she recently spoke out about how important her pets are in her life.

She found one of her four dogs, Phoebe, at the side of a road one day after she had been run over by a car at just six weeks old, resulting in her losing a leg. Speaking to the Express, Karen said: "You know, she's been through so much. She has three legs. She was run over by a car when she was only six weeks old.

"[She was] just left to die on the side of the road, and to come back and you know, have surgery and be fully abled... "She's resilient and incredible and has shown me so much about just being in kick*** but at the same time being so loving and just strong."
