Once-Abused Dog Gets to Celebrate First Christmas With Vet Who Saved Him

[nightwing1240]

A dog was just 12-weeks-old when he was brought into an animal hospital with signs of abuse, but now he gets to celebrate his ‘first proper’ Christmas with the veterinarian nurse who helped save him.

Terry the Whippet arrived at the Hull PDSA Animal Hospital in East Yorkshire, England, where he was treated by nurse Rachel Coombes.

After Terry was brought into the vets in November 2021, the vet discovered the white of his left eye and his lips were both bruised. Three of his upper incisors were missing and another tooth was broken.

Terry’s owner appeared in court, where he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a dog and was handed a five-year ban on keeping animals.

Emily Lomas, an animal care assistant at the RSPCA’s Hull branch, says she was ‘thrilled’ when she found out Rachel had adopted him.

A feel good story and I am glad this fellow found a much better home

1. Beautiful best boy.

2. So happy to read that his former shitheel owner is not allowed to own animals for 5

years, although I would have preferred a life sentence. Anyone who abuses animals deserves to be punished. Those who chain dogs should receive a sentence of being chained outside in all kinds of weather.

I am glad that this sweet-faced baby got a good human companion and hope he recovers from the trauma of his previous life.
