Cinders, who was dumped with extensive burns in April 2018, was named Battersea rescue animal of the year in the 2020 Mirror Animal Hero Awards.
Donations flooded in for Cinders after widespread media coverage of her condition, and in May 2018, Jamie Peyton, of the University of California, flew to Britain to operate on her at Rainbow Equine Hospital.
Ms Peyton brought the pioneering fish-skin dressings she had been using on animals and, with a team of vets and a plastic surgeon from the world-leading burns unit at Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, treated Cinders’ extensive wounds.
