This is my newest arrival. A setter aged about 6 months found in the middle of nowhere by some friends. He is so thin from starvation. A small wound on the leg but nothing serious.

Unfortunately he was PTS today because too much damage had been made by his starvation.

A dog sits waiting in the cold autumn sun.
Too faithful to leave, too frightened to run.
He's been here for days now with nothing to do
But sit by the road, waiting for you.
He can't understand why you left him that day.
He thought you and he were stopping to play.
He's sure you'll come back, and that's why he stays.
How long will he suffer? How many more days?
His legs have grown weak, his throat's parched and dry.
He's sick now from hunger and falls, with a sigh.
He lays down his head and closes his eyes,
I wish you could see how a waiting dogs dies.
