Little Thor, savaged by dogs, starts on road to recovery

Having been rescued with horrific injuries, this little Jack Russell Thor faces another hurdle today as his leg is amputated.

Savaged by dogs, and possibly used as dog bait in an illegal dog fight, little Thor has been through a terrible ordeal in the last few days.

He is having surgery today to amputate a badly wounded back leg, and is on high doses of pain relief after he was found distressed and wandering on a Co Cork road.
