This dog with a dark past is now looking toward a bright future.

Earlier this month, Second Chance Rescue in New York City received a plea for help from a shelter in Georgia regarding a pit-bull mix, who has since been named Landis. The canine was emaciated with several serious medical problems.

"The tendons in all 4 legs are ruptured due to his prior living conditions. He is very small and underweight," Jacquelyn O'Sullivan of Second Chance Rescue told the Huffington Post in an e-mail. "His body condition tell us that he lived in a small space, hence his dwarf-like appearance, bent legs and curved spine.

4. I never cease to be horrified by these stories of abuse.

I really hope with some intensive rehabilitation this pup will improve his mobility and comfort. He's in good hands now.
