Ruby, a three-year-old Lurcher, was close to death when she was taken to the Queen's Veterinary School Hospital in Cambridge after she escaped from her home and was hit by a car.
The accident left her with two broken legs, a broken sternum, a broken toe, a dislocated knee, ruptured ligaments, skin wounds and internal bleeding into her lungs.
But a highly skilled team of vets, nurses and students at the Cambridge University hospital spent five weeks rebuilding her broken body and she is now set to make a full recovery.
"When Ruby first came in she was unable to stand and could barely lift her head and had lots of very serious injuries," said Dr Heidi Radke, an orthopaedic surgeon.
"She had internal bleeding in her lungs but fortunately that stabilised quickly and miraculously she had no other internal injuries. I'm confident she'll make a nearly full recovery and be back to normal exercise in three months time."
