Animal cruelty

Something to wag about: 'Marlboro', now sleek and grown, gets a cuddle from new owner Sheila Luke Sze-wan, 24. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had appealed to animal lovers to adopt the dog, which was taken away from its previous owner last year after the society discovered it had a hole burned into an ear with a cigarette. The puppy, who will live in Happy Valley, will find companionship in another dog and a cat, also adopted from the RSPCA. So there's a tail with a happy ending.
