A dog whose forehead skin was so heavy that he was going blind has finally seen his owner again after undergoing a £1K FACELIFT. Wrinkly American Basset Hound, Duke, now three, has a new LEASH of life after gruelling surgery to remove excess skin on his face. Owner Kerry Greaves, 40, of Wychbold, Worcestershire, said: “After his operation, Duke was so happy as it was the first time he’d laid eyes on me since he was a puppy. “It sounds so weird explaining to people that he’s had a facelift and we certainly got some strange looks when we told friends and family. “But now Duke is happier than ever.”
