A Bristol woman is in a race against time to save her much-loved puppy Lexi. It comes only months after she took on the Samoyed cross Akita pup, which was an ‘unwanted Christmas pet'.
Fishponds resident Alexandra Moise said Lexi was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia last week, but that she knew something was wrong with her back legs from when the puppy was 12 weeks old. Alexandra said Lexi was 'skin and bones' when she bought her in February.
Alexandra said the seller was desperate to sell the dog to her. She said Lexi was 'an unwanted Christmas puppy' and had been born around November. “When the seller brought her to my house, she was severely malnourished. If Lexi had stayed there, she would have been dead,” she said.
