'Defenceless' puppy beaten so badly he goes blind in 'horrendous act of cruelty'
A puppy was beaten so badly in North West London last week it went blind, the RSPCA has said. The animal welfare charity is now investigating after a member of the public brought a 12-week-old Cane Corso puppy with severe injuries into a veterinary practice in Hendon on August 2. The poor puppy had been beaten nearly to death, and was in a collapsed state and couldn't open his eyes. The puppy, named Caine, was badly bruised, had neurological damage, couldn’t walk and was unable to see. Following vet treatment the dog is now able to stand up but is still completely blind. Caine is continuing to receive urgent veterinary attention and once recovered the RSPCA will be able to rehome him.
