Due to over-breeding, Molly the Shar Pei has been left with an excruciating disease which has left her unable to see and, if left untreated blind for the rest of her life.
That was until she had an extreme facelift.
12 month old Molly had been unable to see since birth as she suffered from an entropion which is a congenital disease that causes folds of skin to rub against the eye.
Molly's owner, Louise Walsh said "When I first got her all she did was sleep because she was in so much pain."
"Now she is so happy all the time - playing, exploring and she loves chasing crows."
"She's such a wonderful dog. She loves people and is very affectionate."
The vet who undertook the operation to allow Molly to see was Richard Marks from the Goddard Veterinary Group.
He said "What I essentially did was give her an extreme facelift. I removed a large piece of skin and stitched the remaining skin to the back of her head."
"It may sound extreme but if left much longer she would have been totally blinded."
The vet them proceeded to blast over-breeding which resulted in Molly suffering one of the worst cases of the entropion he had ever seen.
Mr Marks said: "Molly is a result of very bad breeding between dogs that are essentially diseased."
"Molly was bred to satisfy a certain criteria on what they think a dog should look like rather than its health."
Ms Walsh bough Molly one month ago for 500 but has already had to pay 720 in vet bills alone.
As a result she was plans to sue Molly's previous owners from Wales claiming they were not honest about the state of health the dog was in.
Ms Walsh said "I'm very angry. It's not about the money, it's the fact they were dishonest."
"How could they let Molly go through a year of pain without doing anything?"
Two years ago a row erupted regarding the over-breeding of breeds following a BBC documentary exposing health problems with some of the most extreme cases.
Among the 12 breeds the documentary makers demanded be dropped from Crufts as a condition for continue the airing of the dog show included the Shar Pei, but the demands were not met by the Kennel Club.
