|Updated:

The case of a severely emaciated dog who had been infested with maggots and recently rescued by a local California group is now under investigation by Los Angeles authorities.

Ollie the cocker spaniel was initially surrendered to a county shelter before being rescued by Leave No Paws Behind (LNPB) on March 8, LNPB says in a Facebook post. The California-based rescue immediately took Ollie, who was in poor condition, to get treated by a vet and contacted local law enforcement to investigate animal abuse allegations against the dog’s owners.
