An abandoned emaciated dog, the subject of one of the "worst cases" of animal negligence the Auckland SPCA has seen, is on the mend.
However the SPCA is no closer to finding who was responsible for mistreating the dog.
Bright Eyes, a Staffordshire-cross, was found abandoned in a cardboard box at the end of a driveway in Alfriston Road, Manurewa, on January 27.
The dog was so emaciated it could not stand, its bones were showing and its claws were seriously overgrown.
SPCA Auckland chief executive Christine Kalin said Bright Eyes is now eating and standing.
