Just in, Kabang was welcomed home.

Kabang welcomed home in the Philippines, June 8, 2013.

The family received donations from 45 countries, covering the full cost of the dog’s treatment by a team of veterinarian specialists at the University of California, Davis, in the U.S..

Veterinary surgeon Anton Lim, who accompanied the dog to the US, said that, despite losing half her face, Kabang can still chew her food using her two remaining molars, and smell well enough to recognise her owner and handlers.

A parade is planned in her honour in Zamboanga City on Sunday.
