A puppy rescued from a man who caused the death of 20 dogs and mistreated 24 more is thriving in his new home with the Gloucestershire police family. Norbert was one of 44 dogs found malnourished and cramped inside cages in two vans travelling along the M6 on a hot day last year. On Monday the owner, Patrick Stokes, 25, of Adventure Lane, West Rainton in Durham, pleaded guilty to not ensuring the needs of the puppies in his care and causing the death of 20 of them. After police stopped the van on August 22, Norbert spent five days in intensive care on the brink of death, but he is now thriving in his “forever home.”
