Chicago, IL- Found on I290 in Chicago in the early morning hours of Feb 20th, this sweet cocker spaniel has seen better days. Well maybe not? Based on the condition found in, this poor dog is covered in sores, severely matted fur (some mats oozing pus and blood.)

“We’ve been caring for this poor lil soul. Now back from the vet. Found on the highway, survival was a miracle with speeding cars at night in this weather… the expressway, the blizzard, and looks like a good amount of time out alone in the big city during the winter. This tiny little body is underweight, horribly stinky despite a bath, covered in sores, injury, and severely matted fur (baseball sized bloody oozing matts in some areas where the skin is infected/rotting underneath.) Despite this, a sweet disposition (albeit somewhat timid) and we’re hopeful feeling much better once the medications from the vet today start working. Please share and lets see if we can find someone missing a cocker spaniel for awhile in Chicago.”
