Saving Susie-Belle

In the week before Christmas, on a cosy bed beside a log burner, a dog snoozes happily, her belly full of lobster. Just a few months earlier she had been laying in the cold and filth of a Welsh puppy farm, her belly empty of food but full of yet another litter of puppies. For six years Susie-Belle had been trapped in a life of misery as a breeding bitch in a puppy farm, tied up in the back of a putrid shed and experiencing neglect to a horrifying degree. For dogs like her, the end is usually a grim death, whether it's because they fail to be a good breeder or because they have simply become too old and weary to produce and raise the puppies that are demanded of them. A far happier ending awaited this little dog as she was rescued from the nightmare that is puppy farming and brought to safety. This is the moving tale of what life was like for one small dog and why no dog should be allowed to suffer at the hands of humans who value commercial profits more than life itself. This is the story of Susie-Belle and her road to recovery.
