A sad looking dog.

 

I saw a sad looking dog today in the community. I had seen it from the distance a few times. Both the dogs front paws are deformed. They bend to the front. The dog limps along very slowly. The dog has white fur and it's skin is in very bad shape. The dog has open bare sores over much of it's body. I mentioned the dog to Jit, she is noticing animals more now. She asked the owner if we could take the dog to the vet. The women said that her daughter found the dog when it was a puppy, beside the road, and raised it. She had taken the dog to get some medicine for its skin a few days ago. The dog has a good temperament, but how did the dog's skin get in such a bad condition if the owners cared for it?
