Christmas has come early for three elderly, neglected Chihuahuas who have been happily rehomed after they were abandoned in a car park in the summer. Ferdinand, Tinkerbell and Babe were left in a box and faced certain death if they had not been discovered.
They were taken to Bath Cats and Dogs Home, where vets found Babe, 11, had a severely deformed and wounded hind leg which had to be removed in an emergency operation. Nine-year-old Tinkerbell was suffering from stress, and diseased gums, and vets had to extract all but one of her teeth.
