An abandoned dog has been found curled up on his former owner's recliner after it was
dumped by the side of the road when the family moved away and left him behind.
The injured and emaciated dog was sleeping on the broken chair among a pile of garbage
in the freezing cold in Detroit, Michigan for more than a week.
A heartbreaking photo shows him clinging to the chair and the dumped belongings on the
snow-covered street waiting for his family to come back for him.
The starving dog, nicknamed Ollie-loo, was rescued by a volunteer with the Detroit Animal
Welfare Group (D.A.W.G.) suffering from a broken leg and missing teeth.
His ribs were also poking out from underneath his fur.
'He was just waiting for his family to come back,' volunteer Terri Looby told CBS Detroit.
'He got up on that chair and stayed out of the snow.
It was very heartbreaking.'
The dog is believed to be about a year and a half old and possibly a mix between a pitbull
and labrador.
Ollie-loo has now been put in care of a foster family while the animal welfare group wait
for someone to adopt him.
He will have to undergo surgery for his broken leg.
