Sly had been left for dead in a park, unable to stand or even lift his head, but now his health is improving.

Meet Sly – one of the pluckiest dogs you’re likely to see and a very good boy indeed.
Sly was found by a member of the public, emaciated, unable to stand and apparently left for dead in a park in Chester near Philadelphia.
An X-ray showed a rope toy was blocking the dog’s intestine, so the vets operated to remove it a few hours after he arrived.
But from there he slowly started to improve – wagging his tail, standing and eventually even taking a few steps.
On Wednesday, he shook his head for the first time – something he was previously too weak to do.
You can keep up with Sly’s recovery here.
