  • Kye (AARU, Notts)

    2/4/09 – AARU have sent us this very sad update on Kye….”Sadly, Kye was a victim of his breeding, indifference by his previous owners and many, many months of pain and suffering with his eye condition.

Rest now in peace, Kye- so much loved by your foster parents and wept for by those who knew of your torment”
