A severely emaciated dog is being treated by an animal rescue in Killingly.
An animal control officer said it's the "worst case of malnutrition" she's ever seen.
Passion 4 Paws, located in the Dayville section of town, rescued the dog from Waterbury Animal Control on Thursday.
They said the dog, who they've named Sheldon, is friendly but understandably scared.
