BOSTON -- A bulldog found living in squalor conditions is getting a new leash on life.
Rocky, a one-year-old English bulldog was rushed to Boston's Angell Animal Medical Center last week.
He was suffering from multiple medical issues including a life threatening case of pneumonia.
The dog was seized by police after they received a report of a neglected dog covered in feces.
When he was examined, MSPCA staff discovered was implanted with a microchip that was registered to a local pet store and that he had been stolen about a year ago.
Rocky continues to receive rehabilitative care from the staff at the MSPCA at Nevins Farm as staff search for his new home.
