Luca the lurcher has recovered with the help of new owners after being found in an emaciated condition in Barnsley.
A dog found tied to a lamppost in South Yorkshire that was described as a "walking skeleton" has found its new forever home after a remarkable recovery.in April last year.
"I could tell by his demeanour and look in his eyes Luca had given up on life as he was so broken and withdrawn. It was heartbreaking to see. While receiving treatment at the RSPCA's Felledge Centre, a microchip revealed he was originally called Lucas but his ownership details had not been kept up-to-date.
PC Mark Winter said: "I will never forget the way that Luca looked back at me after we handed him over to the RSPCA as if to say ‘thank you’.
