This pup didn’t have the easiest start in life and he still needs your help.

Two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback Hugo was dumped and left for dead in Muswellbrook in April last year.

He was severely emaciated and RSPCA staff feared he wouldn’t make it.

But Hugo has made a miraculous recovery, going from bare bones to bounding joy.

The young pup is yet to find a loving home and the RSPCA is on a mission to give Hugo the life he deserves.
