Rescued from certain death, with love and care this brave little dog survived - and won the nations hearts at Crufts. My name is Buddy and I love playing frisbee in the park. But life hasnt always been so easy for me. The day I was discovered on a wasteland outside London, I had been abandoned in a crate and was suffering from mange and severe dermatitis. I weighed only 3kg, and the vets said I was the worst case of neglect they had ever seen. They gave me only a few days to live. But my human friend Nicola showed me the love and affection I needed to pull through, and together we helped each other find happiness again. Now 11, I am adored by my online fans for my intelligence, my energy and my winning smile.
