Teddy Bear was found with hundreds of maggots eating away at his face, causing damage so extensive he was on the brink of an excruciating death.
But after three months of treatment by a charity in Rajasthan, India, the dappled brown dog is able to walk again and open his eyes - which were swollen shut.
The pooch had powder put into his the holes in his face to kill the maggots, which were then removed one-by-one as he lay sedated.

Quote:
Aside from a deformity that remains around his right eye, you would not know he had nearly died three months before.
A spokesman for the charity said: 'The damage was so extensive we didn't know if we could save him. But we knew we had to try.
'He has a permanent deformity on his face, but you try telling him that!'
