Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
A severely underweight stray Cane Corso mix dog, named Balboa by staff, was rescued by Boston Animal Control and brought to the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. The dog arrived with dangerously low body temperature and visible ribs and hip bones. Veterinarians are nursing him back to health, and he will eventually enter foster care to regain strength before being assessed for adoption.
