Puppy left blind by brutal attack in Romania finds his forever home in Scotland
Otto's eyeballs were gouged from their sockets by thugs because he was barking in a garden but he is now settling into his new life in Scotland. A puppy who had his eyes cut out in a brutal attack in Romania has found his forever home in Scotland. Otto's eyeballs were gouged from their sockets by thugs because he was barking in a garden. The blind puppy was rescued by charity Paw Prints to Freedom in March, who posted a Facebook plea for a new home. Michelle McKee and her daughter Hannah, eight, fell in love with Otto and applied to adopt him. Otto, thought to be aged around one, travelled from Romania by truck in May to his new family home in Uddingston, Lanarkshire. Michelle, 39, said: 'We read of the terrible trauma he had been through. He had been living in a garden and been barking quite a bit. Neighbours cut his eyes out and left him for dead. He would have been terrified and in such pain. 'When we saw his photo, we fell in love. I contacted the charity straight away and said, 'we need him'. It cost £440 in total. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'The day he arrived, I sat on the floor and he was so happy he jumped all over me. He has not left my side since. 'It makes me sad he will never see the faces of his family. But he knows he is loved.' Michelle added: 'People burst out crying when they hear his story. He has the loveliest wee face, you can't imagine how anyone could be so cruel. 'Maybe Otto's story will encourage others to consider giving dogs like him a second chance. 'We are raising money for the charity. Otto is on TikTok and has a Facebook page.' Paw Prints to Freedom said: 'We are very grateful to Michelle and her family for giving Otto the most amazing home, we're so pleased to hear he is thriving. We are always grateful for any support we receive.' Rescuers Tony & Mari who found Otto in Romania said: "When we picked up Otto, he was in serious condition. His eyes had clearly been damaged deliberately, but he was still so friendly. "We are so happy he is in the UK where he is loved. "Despite all his experience, he is an amazing, trusting, and friendly boy. He touched our hearts."

More than 70 people arrested at protests supporting banned Palestine Action
The UK Government proscribed Palestine Action in June, after protestors from the group caused £7 million worth of damage at an RAF base. More than 70 people have been arrested at demonstrations held against Palestine Action being proscribed as a terror group by the UK Government. Protestors have gathered in cities across England and Wales after police reiterated that showing support for the group was a criminal offence. 42 people were arrested in London after crowds gathered for the second week in a row. A further 16 arrests were made in Manchester and 13 people were also held in Cardiff at other related demonstrations on Saturday. In London, two groups of protesters gathered underneath both the Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela statues in Parliament Square for the demonstration shortly after 1pm. The individuals then wrote the message 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' with black markers on pieces of cardboard, and silently held the signs aloft as they were surrounded by Metropolitan Police officers and members of the media. Some demonstrators could be seen lying on top of each other on the floor as police searched their bags and took their ID cards and handmade signs. Officers could then be seen carrying away a number of protesters who were lying down, lifting them off the ground and into waiting police vans parked around the square. Other standing protesters were also led away from the statues and placed into the vans. The last of the protesters was lifted from the Nelson Mandela statue shortly after 2.30pm. All but one of the 42 arrests were for showing support for a proscribed organisation, while one person was arrested for common assault, the Metropolitan Police said in a post on social media. Greater Manchester Police said it had arrested 16 people under the Terrorism Act after responding to a protest in St Peter's Square, Manchester, at around 2.30pm on Saturday. South Wales Police also confirmed 13 people were arrested on suspicion of committing offences under the same Act during a protest in the vicinity of Central Square, Cardiff. In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said a 58-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of demonstrating support for Palestine Action in Leeds. He was interviewed at a police station before being released on bail. Scotland Yard said its stance remains that officers will act where criminal offences, including support of proscribed groups or organisations, are committed. The force added that this includes ' chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos'. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

They were detained for around 12 hours before being released on bail without charge, Defend Our Juries said. The terror group designation means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The move to ban the organisation came after two Voyager aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20, an incident claimed by Palestine Action, which police said caused about £7 million worth of damage. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe Palestine Action three days later, saying that the vandalism of the planes was 'disgraceful' and the group had a 'long history of unacceptable criminal damage'.
