A dreadlocked dog that was "one big mat" when he was rescued from the streets has undergone a stunning transformation - and is now looking for a home.

Shih-tzu mix Rumor was found in a trucking yard which has become known as the 'Corridor of Cruelty' because so many pets are dumped there.

The unloved pooch, aged eight or nine, was taken in by Corridor Rescue "in bad shape" health-wise and covered in matted fur that swamped his tiny frame.
