A local animal group recently rescued a severely neglected dog that was left to lie in its poop for five years. HOPE Dog Rescue shared that they were alerted to the Pomeranian's plight by a housing agent who had visited the flat the dog was in for a viewing. They then discovered that the Pom's original owner had died and it was handed over to his son who later passed away in his 50s.
'He fed the dog daily, but didn't bother to clean the enclosure, leaving the poor sweet Pom to lie in years of poop,' the group said on its blog page. 'As we entered the house, we realised he had mopped the entire house with Dettol, except the enclosure,' they said. 'Was it another case of trying to remove evidence? We can't even begin to imagine how someone could live with that stench.' They also managed to get the man to agree to let them take the Pom to a vet because it was smelly and its fur was badly matted
