A badly mistreated puppy has been saved from doggy death row after finding a loving family – and even has a new name.
Flash was placed on a list of dogs to be put down at a Romanian shelter last year.
But he escaped the kill-list before arriving at Oakwood Dog Rescue in Hull where he found a new lease of life.
Animal-loving local website HullLive shared the news about his battle as efforts were upped to try and locate a home for him.
But he is now almost unrecognisable after finding a family.
Now he not only has a new place to live, Flash has been renamed and is now known as Amos.
A spokesperson from Oakwood Dog Rescue said: “Amos was so, so scared when he first arrived at the centre.
“He was absolutely terrified of everyone and would hide whenever he could see a person.
“Just after a week in his forever home, he now enjoys sleeping on the sofa next to his humans, will take treats from them and comes back inside when called.
“He still has a lot to learn but Amos is a perfect example of what a loving home environment can do for a traumatised dog.”

Amos, formerly Flash, is just one of the 43 dogs to be re-homed by Oakwood Dog Rescue in January.
A spokesperson added: “In January 2021, we have managed to find new homes for 43 very lucky dogs!
“It's been an incredible start of the year and we can only hope we can continue at this pace for the months to follow.”
The rescue centre managed to re-home 27 dogs in February and has place another nine with their forever families so far this month.
