A dog who was left for dead in Cyprus is now living a dream life swimming in lakes, running in hills, and playing in waterfalls in the Lake District.
Cher, a three-year-old Golden Retriever and Greek Kolkoni cross, was found with a shattered front right leg, tied to a lampost on the streets of Nicosia, Cyprus.Luckily she was found by D.O.G Rescue Cyprus, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of abandoned, abused and neglectedHayley Leece, a hotel reception manager from Ambleside, saw Cher on the charity’s adoption site and fell in love.
In 2016 Hayley paid £425 for Cher to be flown to the UK with all her vaccinations and a pet passport.‘Cher is nearly four now,’ Hayley said. ‘She now celebrates her birthday on the same day as the singer Cher as we don’t know her real birthday.‘You could see the deep sadness in her eyes.‘I dread to think how much she must have suffered.‘She’s still scared of sticks, which indicates she was probably beaten.
Hayley now plans to complete all 214 of the Lakeland fells with Cher by her side, having already climbed 107 of them. She has also been doing marathons and ultramarathons without Cher to raise money for the D.O.G Rescue team to build new shelters in Cyprus.So far Hayley has raised nearly £2,000, while the charity has raised £70,000 in total. Another £100,000 is needed for the new dog shelter to become a reality.Hayley said: ‘Cher is amazing. She was really scared when we first got her but her confidence is now soaring.
