Re-constructive surgery to restore Aoife’s hearing

A GREYHOUND who touched the nation after she was discovered by welfare officers with her ears hacked off looks like she’s been in the wars all over again. But this time, it’s all for her benefit.

Three-year-old Aoife is today recovering from two-and-a-half hours of re-constructive surgery which will almost fully restore her hearing.

She was found abandoned and with blood spilling from her head near Tramore, Co Waterford, in March. Her ears were hacked off to remove tattoos which would identify her and her former owners.
