An abandoned dog is recovering well after heartless owners hacked off half her snout.
Five-year-old Fresa underwent three hours of reconstructive surgery after she was found wandering the streets following the brutal attack.
Fresa, which means 'strawberry' in English, was discovered on the outskirts of Mexico City before she was handed into the Santuario Milagros Caninos shelter in the Mexican capital.
Surgeon Jesus Paredes, who operated on Fresa, said half her snout was hacked off "with a sharp object, possibly a machete."MORE PHOTO
Mr Parades performed a three hour intervention to enable Fresa to breathe again through her nostrils, removing her protruding jaw and reconstructing her lips with flaps of skin and mucous.
Fresa continues to be cared for by the shelter and is said to be recovering well.
