A dog who lost part of her nose due to abuse at the hands of Chinese meat traders has received enough money to undergo life-changing facial reconstruction surgery after her owner crowdfunded £4,500 for treatment.
The Belgian shepherd, called Angel, was rescued from the brink of death in 2015 from Changchun, China, when activists seized a truckload of dogs destined for the slaughterhouse.
Her owner, Hollie Cornes, said that her rescuers matched her ‘horrific’ facial injuries to the tools that dog catchers use to get hold of pets.
We raised the money really quickly, which I never expected.
