Amazing photo shows Fionn the 'miracle dog' happy and healthy

This dog was beaten, battered and left to die in a pile of rubbish. But there are people in this world who can't stand by and let that happen.

A dog who was neglected, beaten and left to die on a rubbish tip in Cork has made a miraculous recovery thanks to the love and dedication of an animal welfare group and its supporters.

This is Fionn the foxhound, pictured happy and warm in his bed, being cared for by his foster mother Angela in an incredible photo posted to Facebook by Cork-based animal welfare organisation Dog Action Welfare Group (DAWG).
