You can tell he is thin in relation to his head, poor little s*d what a miserable existance he must have endured.

I dont think he will be in rescue long as he is adorable.

Ye Gods, my Jack Russell is heavier! What a crying shame, such sad eyes, at least she is safe now!

Texted this to my boss, who loves Bassetts.

Got a one word text back - he's not happy

SHE has already got a home to go to but has stayed here while I sorted out her eating and to see if there were any problems other than lack of food.

She was fetched in in a rush as she was "biting the children" Strange as she has shown no aggression at all -a bit of soft puppy mouthing with needle teeth but no biting or snapping.

We think the idiot owners had stuck to the feeding instructions they got with her at eight weeks old - half a coffee mug of complete puppy food two times a day.

I started her on half a coffee mug five times a day and then upped the quantity. She is now on 2 coffee mugs three times a day and was a healthy 10kg when I weighed her for worming yesterday. This only took 11 days from this;-

To this:-

No food aggression even with Hetty the ex batt willing a few crumbs her way.

Shirley Bassette sends her best wishes for a happy re-homing.
