Neglected dog is hoping to make a 2,500 MILE trip to the UK

A badly neglected dog is hoping to make a 2,500 MILE trip to the UK to start a new life in time for Christmas. The sad-looking Shar Pei, which has been named Noelle, was dumped and left to die in a plastic kennel by her heartless owner in Gran Canaria. She is covered in lumps, suffering from demodectic mange and has an ear infection following years of mistreatment. But Noelle, who is thought to be around seven-years-old, was saved by a friend of the Shar Pei Rescue Scotland, which now plans on giving her a new life in Britain.
