The beautiful Labrador who was seriously injured in a brutal dog attack in Derry has swapped veterinary care for foster care after five weeks of intensive treatment.
Bramble, whose life and limbs were at risk after the mauling, is still healing physically and mentally but this week vet Julian Kozlowski decided he was well enough to be moved into the comfort of a home whose family who will continue his care.
It has now emerged that old bite injuries were found on the five-year-old dog when he was taken for emergency treatment last February, pointing towards the possibility that he may have suffered previously as a bait dog. Bramble's former owner has still not come forward.
