DOG WHO HAD HER EYES GOUGED OUT FINDS LOVING HOME IN THE UK
An adorable rescue dog who had her eyes gouged out by thugs in Romania has found a loving home in the UK. Nym, who is thought to be seven-years-old, lost her sight when she was cruelly abused at a kennel in Bucharest, Romania. The blind female cross-breed was rescued by an animal-loving local, before charity Blind Dog Rescue UK flew her to England. Nym is now enjoying life in a loving home, thanks to Sian Porter, 38, of Hastingwood, Essex.
