A little puppy who weighs less than a bag of sugar is fighting for her life after being rescued from a horrific breeding farm. A total of 96 shih tzu dogs, between the ages of one week and 12 years, were discovered living in "terrible conditions" at a house in Torquay.
A huge RSPCA rescue mission saw all the animals taken to numerous shelters across Devon and Cornwall. Many of the dogs were suffering from flea and worm infestations, having been surrounded by their own urine and faeces. Gables Cats and Dogs Home in Plymouth took in 23 dogs from the farm, including the tiny puppy who is now struggling to survive.
