The dog was found by Cara Rescue Dogs.
A Laois animal rescue service has recovered a dog suffering from long-term neglect.
The dog was found by Cara Rescue Dogs volunteers with serious injuries, as a result of being hit by a car, including a broken leg, pelvis and tail.
He was also malnourished and flea-invested, with a severe ear mite infection and tapeworms.
The dog has since had surgery with a plate, pins and external fixture to repair his pelvis and leg - and will be recovering for a number of months to come.
