An "exhausted and starving" elderly stray dog "stayed in his bed for two whole days and slept" after being rescued by the DSPCA.
Gandalf was found by rescuers last week and was underweight. His coat was in very poor condition with bald patches and his skin was dry and sore with alopecia.
"Gandalf was brought to our treatment area and his carer Lynda said that apart from toilet breaks he stayed in his bed for 2 whole days and slept," the DSPCA said. "It's heartbreaking to see old dogs being forgotten about and discarded but sadly we see if too often."
