A dog with horrific untreated burns was found shivering in a bush near a park in Preston.

The French Bulldog, who has been named Bruce, was discovered in in the Thorpe Lane area on February 18. He was rushed to the vets for emergency treatment for his painful burns across his back. The vet believes the dog had suffered the injuries two to three weeks earlier.

The eight-year-old was sedated so he could have his fur clipped and his extensive and infected wounds cleaned. He was given pain relief and tablets to combat the infection and he is still having cream applied to his wounds on a daily basis.

The eight-year-old was sedated so he could have his fur clipped and his extensive and infected wounds cleaned. He was given pain relief and tablets to combat the infection and he is still having cream applied to his wounds on a daily basis.

The vet said that the infection suggested the wounds were about two to three weeks old. Bruce was also found to have an old scar on his right hind leg from an older injury.

The RSPCA has launched an investigation to find the person responsible for abandoning Bruce – and the person who handed him over to them.

RSPCA inspector Emma Dingley immediately launched an investigation into how Bruce suffered his terrible burns but was unable to contact the woman who brought him to the branch.

Eight-year-old Bruce’s microchip was originally registered to an owner in Colne – but Emma found out that she rehomed him three years ago to two women on a pet sales website and the chip had not been updated.

The vet said that the fact the wounds were infected suggested they were about two to three weeks old

Emma said: “Bruce is a gorgeous dog but he has severe burns on his body which appear to have been caused by scalding water so I am keen to find out what has happened to him and if this was intentional harm I want to find the person responsible.

“I would urge the woman who brought Bruce into the branch to contact me as I think she may hold vital information.

“I am also keen to hear from anyone who recognises this dog and can help identify his owner to contact me.”

Bruce is currently being cared for at the RSPCA Preston and district branch.

A spokesperson for the branch said: “Bruce has stolen our hearts. We are all very soft on him and he stays in reception with staff during the day.

“He must have had pain from those wounds when he first came to use and he was more reserved then but as his wounds have healed his personality has come out more. His cheeky and confident side has now emerged.

“He constantly wants cuddles and will stare at you if you stop. He’s also quite active – jumping up on the staff sofa and playing with tennis balls.

“His favourite activity has been to itch himself on our legs and table legs! His injury must have been very itchy where he was shaved but he is doing really well and enjoyed plenty of love and fuss from staff members.”

Emma added: “It is possible that Bruce’s injuries were caused by accident, however it appears they had been left for two weeks and he would have been in a lot of pain during that time.

“I am so pleased that Bruce is doing well in our care and once he has been treated for his awful injuries he will be found a new forever home.”

Anyone who can identify Bruce’s owner should call the RSPCA’s appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
