Bella, who has been renamed by her new family, was found emaciated, scared and covered in a tangled coat of fleas by the side of the road in Yalding, Kent on January 28 this year. Vets discovered she had been thrown from the window of a truck traveling at 50 mph. Superintendent Kirsten Ormerod said her team was “surprised” to have survived the incident. “Bella was incredibly lucky to survive after being thrown from the moving vehicle at such high speed and the vets were incredibly concerned that she might have suffered internal bleeding so she was operated on straight away,” he added. The RSPCA has launched an investigation into who was responsible, but it is yet to be resolved. After recovering, Bella was adopted by Gill, her husband Ray and their daughter – a family living in nearby Maidstone.
