A dog who was found close to death in a Cradley Heath nature reserve is continuing to recover after being rescued by an animal charity.

The female Dogue De Bordeaux was found on Saturday, starving and shivering in Corngreaves Nature Reserve.

Elsa – who was named by The Animal House rescue charity due to her being found “frozen” - survived the harrowing conditions and is now being looked after at a vets in Smethwick.

Although she still needs constant care, thousands of pounds have been raised to help pay for Elsa’s vet bills.
