dog given no other care but food and water for a year
Short bark and sides, please! Dog neglected by its Russian owners for a year is found with fur so overgrown he could barely move
Dog was passed to new owners after master Gore Zhdanov died aged 79
Relatives began arguing over inheritance so dog was locked in flat
Kept there for a year with food and water but was otherwise uncared for
Took team of six three hours to remove matted fur after he was found
This tangled mass of fur may resemble some sort of monster but it is in fact a dog that was neglected for a year after his master died and the new owners refused to care for him.
The faithful pet was given food and water, and allowed access to the balcony so he didn't make a mess inside the house, but was otherwise left uncared for.
When animal workers were finally called they found him covered in a mass of hair, encrusted with faeces and soaked in urine, which was so heavy it meant he could barely move or breathe.
'Six people spent three hours trimming Cocos fur, filling four 100 liter bags with dog hair. After that, Cocos' teeth were thoroughly cleaned.'
Cocos now lives with Elena Rivvo, a local expert in bobtails, who has put him on a special diet of vitamins in order to help him back to full strength

K&R!
What the hell is wrong with people who mistreat animals like this?
I'll never understand it, just heartbreaking. 
Some people....
