Ray, an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever, was found wandering alone in the streets of Torrance, California, after being dumped by his family.

His eyes were sad and crusty. Hunger had rendered his body skeletal-thin, and his coat-fur was missing in places!

It is devastating for a dog to be abandoned by a family. Family members may refuse to take care of a sick or old dog, but they don’t realize how much pain it will cause the poor dog after they leave it.

After his family left him, 8-year-old Labrador Retriever Ray was found wandering the streets of Torrance, California.

His eyes were sad and narrowed. Hunger made his body thin, and he lacked fur in some places.

Ray was rescued by workers at the Carson Asylum in California. The shelter volunteers helped Ray gain back a number of his health, but he remained depressed. Soon, he was put up for adoption. It seems that the preference for advanced dogs is very low.

Update: Ray has been adopted
