Scuttle’s story
Otherwise known as Candy. She was nicknamed Scuttle because when she first arrived at April and Paul Carrier’s home at Rota, in Spain, her spine was deformed and curved, which made her move in a peculiar way. She had to mince with her back legs and looked like she needed to poop all the time.She was found wandering on a motorway in Sevilla, and had jumped straight into the open door of a car being driven by a Spanish couple who, luckily, had been able to stop and rescue her from almost certain death on the busy road – it was no accident she was there….she had been left there to die.
