Family adopt 'adorable' blind stray dog they met on holiday in Mauritius

A British family raised over £3,000 to fly an “adorable” blind stray puppy from Mauritius to the UK - after falling in love with him on holiday.

Natalie Bottomley, 48, said her daughters Taylor, 18, and Georgie, 17, became smitten with eight-month-old Ronnie after arriving on the tropical islet, in the Indian Ocean.

And after convincing her husband Chris about their plan to rehome the cross-breed, she set up a donation page in the hopes of getting him back to Britain.

But the family was amazed when money started to roll in within hours of the appeal going live - allowing them to get him off the streets.

Natalie said Ronnie spent three weeks in an animal welfare sanctuary before he was put on a 13-hour to Heathrow Airport on Tuesday (Aug 8).
