Sparkle suffered from Mange; mangled and infected tail; heartworm positive; enlarged heart (due to heartworms); tongue is in bad condition, probably rope burns; both hind legs severly injured by rope, one with tendon exposed, BUT good pulse in both legs; MAY have injured eyelids on rope, too soon to tell. 

Law enforcement officials suspect that the tied legs were in preparation for hanging the dog from a tree in order to gut him. Thankfully, somehow, Sparkle got away. He managed to climb a 100 ft. hill behind the Deering fire station and onto a porch.
