In January of this year RSPCA deputy chief inspector Gemma Cooper visited a farm in Carmarthenshire where it had been reported a dog with bones visible in its leg was living. The black and white female collie ~ named Floss - was being kept in a garage attached to a house. DCI Cooper was told that Floss had been in a dog fight and had been missing for a couple of weeks before returning to the farm the previous day.

“At the back of the garage was a black and white, female collie dog laying on blankets with her back left foot sloughed off and all the bones exposed,’ she said.
