This is Ellen’s story.
Staff from the Trio Animal Foundation in Chicago discovered this dog in an appalling condition at a shelter at the weekend.
Sue Naiden, who founded the charitable organisation, said they couldn’t even work out which end the dog’s head was.

“Flies and gnats swarmed around the pup and what appeared to be the dog’s back legs dragged on the floor and left a watery trail … just like a snail," she said.
"As it turned out, the dog had two very petite legs hidden underneath all the knotted fur and the outer appendages were just matted fur and debris."

Naiden said the fur on the dog’s legs was so heavy it was starting to rip out at the root.

Kelli, a groomer from Mutt Hutt, agreed to try to help the tiny dog after it was rescued.
“Within the first ten minutes we found out that our matted pup was a girl,” Naiden revealed. "We have now named her Ellen."
