Tom, I read about that poor German Shepard being chained to a tree for over 4 years , as well. The pictures they showed of the skinny dog were just AWFUL !
That dog was so thin and pitiful looking that you could see just about every bone in his body, and his coat looked like black straw, it was so dry and raggedy. It is flat amazing to me that his neighbors could have lived next to this man for that long and not reported the dog, no matter what stories that he told them to supposedly explain the dogs condition.
Even if he hadn't been starving to death, an animal needs shelter, and not to be left under a tree in the elements, in the cruel heat of summer, and the freezing cold of winter.
I also hope that they are able to place this sad looking animal in a home where he will be cared for and loved.
His eyes speak volumes....
