Sandy the German Shepherd flown 1,600 miles to fix his 'wonky legs'

Sandy was flown more than 1,600 miles to the UK from Greece for surgery.

A loveable German Shepherd abandoned in Greece because of his wonky legs is going from strength to strength after being brought to Britain.

10-month-old Sandy who is also partially sighted is a little shaky on his pins but is making a remarkable recovery.

A nutritional problem is thought to have made his front legs seriously bowed.

His plight came to the attention of Pat Clark, who runs a dogs charity in Cambridge. Pat launched a campaign to raise the money to bring Sandy to the UK to mend his legs.

Chaim Pilosof who is a partner at Companion Care vets in Cambridge offered to do the operations for free.

Sandy is being fixed one leg at a time.

Following the initial operation to fix one of his legs the treatment has gone brilliantly. His right leg is recovering well, but Sandy still has a way to go.

He's got another operation to straighten his left leg and lots of physiotherapy to come. He will also have an MRI scan and a visit to an eye specialist.
