Lilibet was up for sale in a Chinese meat market, when she was spotted and rescued by charity workers. She then spent 18 months being transported 6,000 miles, before she found a new home with Michelle Taylor, 47, and solicitor husband Chris, 52, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The lovable pooch was one of a selection of dogs rescued by charity Great Bulls of China, who helped to transport her to Moscow then Ukraine, where she became stranded when war broke out, before she finally made her way to Buckinghamshire to meet her new family last February. School administrator Michelle said: "When I first set eyes Lilibet her she didn't look anything like a poodle. She had chronic ear infections, abscesses between her toes, her skin and fur was stained yellow and brown with urine, she was covered in dried faeces and she had a dreadful skin condition. But she sat next to me in the car on our drive home to I realised that she really is the loveliest, loveliest dog imaginable. I was close to tears with all the emotion of meeting her but she kept putting her head on my lap as if she was trying to comfort me." In the year since, she's become a beloved addition to the family, who paid a £1,200 adoption fee before they met their pet two years after her rescue. "She was so friendly and my son, Louie, eight, adores her," Michelle added. "Even our Bedlington terrier, Duke, who has terrible anxiety loves her." Now, Lilibet has now been trained as a therapy dog with Cariad so she can carry out visits to schools, hospitals, and therapy centres. Michelle explained: "Because Lilibet is giving us so much joy and love each and every moment of the day we just wanted other people to be able){kind=link}
