Reported on 24 September 2021, Hamlet's tail had been hacked off, and was a festering stump. He had numerous other scars, as well as having been blinded in his right eye. Hamlet (so called because he bears a strong resemblance to recent adopteeOphelia) underwent surgery, and as soon as he was stable, he had further surgery on his eye, which could not be saved. For a while, understandably, he wasn't a particularly friendly rescue, but when he realised the power of cuddles from staff and volunteers, he changed his tune! He is very much a softy now, although occasionally he will make a bit on a woof at any other dog that gets in the way of his scritches! ?
