A puppy of around ten weeks old was brought to the Mdzananda Animal Clinic with a severe wound to his face. The entire side of his face was mangled.

If you've been following us on social media you might have seen a boy named Leonard - a strong Staffordshire x Pit Bull x Africanis x awesome. Leonard was handed over to Mdzananda during 2018's festive season, just before Christmas when many community members went to the Eastern Cape. He was in good condition and a happy boy but confused. Why was he all of a sudden in a strange place instead of his home all of a sudden?
