EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (WFSB) - A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the owner of a severely emaciated dog.
Desmond's Army, an animal advocacy group, says the dog, a female boxer mix, was found today on Daniel Street in East Hartford.
In a Facebook post, they said the dogs body temperature 30 minutes after some warmth was 95.7 degrees.
"Another hour or so and she likely would have died from exposure," they said.
They also said the dog had a body score of 0-1, meaning she had 0% body fat to help her stay warm.
