An abandoned dog found on the streets with a filthy coat of matted fur has undergone an extreme makeover after his condition left rescuers stunned.
Twelve-year-old Beans was found with hair so tangled his ears were almost shut while it appeared he had an extra foot.
Beans had also chewed hair at his own skin in an apparent attempt to get rid of it.
Horrified rescuers suggested the dog's unkempt condition may have been a result of never being groomed.
But now Beans has undergone a remarkable transformation which has left him enjoying a new lease of life.

The dog was found on the streets and taken in by Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco.
The charity helped get Beans back to his best by washing him and trimming his hair during an "emergency groom" as volunteers took time off work to help him.

Patty Stanton, a volunteer at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, said: "Beans was found as a stray in Solano County.
"He was in horrible shape, and hadn't been groomed in years.
"Once he got all cleaned up Beans was like a new dog with hope for the first time.
"He immediately began running around Muttville like an excited puppy and was so grateful to have his filthy, long matted coat finally off his body."

Volunteer groomer Cindy Perry added: "When Muttville sent me a picture of Beans, I immediately classified it as an emergency groom and I took a day off my regular job in order to give that poor boy some relief.
"Beans was actually a perfect name for him.
"He was full of beans! A total wiggleworm, but not in a mean or angry way at all.
"I saw him shift from discomfort, confusion and concern to what seemed like joy."
