The dog who was saved from turning into STONE
Abandoned pooch had been so badly treated she looked like a statue – and now she needs a new home
This abandoned dog was so neglected when it was found dumped on the streets that it looked like it was turning to stone.
But after being nursed back to health, the down and out dog is now looking for a new home.
Non-profit animal welfare organisation Save a Greek Stray received a call about a miserable mutt who was in a bad state after being left to starve on the streets of Oropus, in East Attica, Greece.
Staff at the shelter rescued the five-year-old mixed-breed dog, who had a glut of health problems, and nursed her back to health over four months.
Staff nicknamed the hound Petra, which is Greek for stone - because after being so cruelly mistreated her matted, crusty face looked like it was made of stone.
She tested positive for mange and other Mediterranean diseases.
'It took a lot of special medication, medical baths, special spot-ons to improve her skin condition and very good quality food.
'Sadly, she is still at the shelter waiting for her forever home.
'Unfortunately, Petra is not the only dog found in such a condition - in Greece we are very used to seeing dogs in a similar condition, and we deal with them on a daily basis.'
