COULD you give this stray dog a loving home?

Bones, a Staffordshire Terrier, was taken to Abbeydale Veterinary Centre, Preston New Road, Blackburn, with a badly-shattered hind leg.

Caroline Dickinson, from the practice, said: “We think he was in a road accident.

"The vet tried to pin his leg, but every time it kept shattering again.

"The only option, other than putting him down, was to amputate.

"But considering he only has three legs, he doesn’t half get around!

"He’s very active and loving, and needs someone who can give him lots of attention and take him out on lots of walks.”

Bones, thought to be about eight or nine months old, is best suited to families who spend a lot of time at home.

Anyone interested in rehoming him is asked to call 01254 681811.
