Staffers for the Animal Rescue Fund are trying to locate the former owner of a neglected dog.

The dog, a mastiff, was picked up Feb 5 by ARF near Wall's Furniture on Nebo Road. The dog is emaciated, weighing about 82 pounds rather than the 130 or 140 he should. Nikki Stephenson, assistant director of ARF, described him as "a walking skeleton with no fat or muscle whatsoever. His rib cage and hips protrude and every vertebrae in his spine is visible."

The dog had no collar or tags, and a scan showed no microchip. Stephenson said ARF officials hope to identify the former owner for possible prosecution for animal neglect or cruelty.
