A 'severely emaciated' dog was found cruelly abandoned and tied to a tree in Bury. The American bulldog cross, who has been named Murphy by RSPCA rescuers, was spotted by a member of the public near Clifton Country Park on the morning of Saturday, April 3.

He was in an 'awful condition' and had pressure sores on his hips and ankles, the RSPCA said. His spine and ribs were visible because he was so thin.

Animal experts believe he had been neglected, starved and squashed in a small cage before he was abandoned. He does not have a microchip so his owner has not yet been tracked down.

Murphy is now being cared for a veterinary team who are helping him gain weight. Once his health has stabilised, he will be transferred to a RSPCA animal hospital before being found a home.
