A ‘painfully skinny’ dog was found curled up in a woman’s driveway.
Roxy, a Dogue de Bordeaux cross, was spotted by Emma Fowler in Boxted, Essex on April 21.
Emma took the three-year-old pet to a veterinary surgery and alerted the RSPCA as they suspected she had been neglected, the BBC reported.
The RSPCA, which said Roxy weighed around 25kg less than a healthy Dogue de Bordeaux at just 29kg, has now launched an investigation.
