Following her developing a serious skin condition, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier in the picture above ended up losing all her fur.

However, members of the public and those who helped rescue her after she had been abandoned in Blackburn went through the trouble of presenting her with several jumpers which now help keep her warm. Sources say that, for the time being, Peaches is looked after by the staff at Animal Care in Lancaster.

Despite her being in a very bad shape when she was first found, this pooch is now well on the road to recovery.

“It's likely the owners were left with a mother and a litter of puppies who all had the skin condition, and rather than simply treating them, they let the animals get to this horrendous state, before dumping at least one of them.”

“If she had not been rescued when she did, it's likely Peaches wouldn't have survived. It's an extremely painful condition, especially for a puppy,” rescuer Diane Lambert says.
