GOLDEN BOY

Saved from meat farm now 'gentle Henry', 7, helps out at care home

GOLDEN retriever Henry was destined to end up on the dinner table after being raised on a filthy South Korean meat farm.

He lived in a tiny cage with his mother and two sisters, surviving sub-zero winters and searing summers, fed nothing but putrid restaurant waste.

That was until Henry, along with 170 other dogs, was rescued from the farm by Humane Society International.

Now seven, he spends his time visiting a care home to give comfort to residents.

Owner Claire Bass, who was part of the rescue mission, said: "His joy and generosity of spirit is infectious.

"Our visits always deliver smiles and often spark memories from the residents about dogs they have loved.
