Betsy is one dog who has been through it all.When she arrived at Viktor Larkhill's clinic, she had been absolutely ripped apart by dogfighting. They think she was used as a bait dog in this horrific practice, and the results were shocking. Her skin was torn apart around the face, leaving her skull and jaw bone completely exposed.
