The RSPCA has launched an appeal for information after a starving dog covered in sores was abandoned and tied to a tree in the woods.
The poorly dog, who has now been named Murphy by rescuers, was spotted at around 7am on Saturday, April 3 in Hurst Wood in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester.
It's suspected the one-year-old American bulldog cross was kept squashed in a small cage for most of his life.
