HORROR stories of abandoned dogs in popular holiday destination Tenerife have been revealed by a teenager who used to live on the island.
Among the most disturbing tales spoken of by Emma Rhodes, 19, from High Wycombe, are owners throwing their pets out of car windows onto the motorway.
Miss Rhodes, of West Wycombe Road, is trying to shed light on the plight of pets, who have been cast aside due to ever increasing financial pressures, in her former home land.
