A Starving Dog Found Inside a Zipped Suitcase Outside a Bronx Apartment Building is Showing Signs of Recovery

A 3-year-old pit bull mix, named Fraggle, was so badly malnourished and in poor health that doctors had to administer life-saving medical treatment. He was found inside a zipped suitcase outside the Melrose Housing Development at 700 Morris Ave., a Bronx apartment building on January 22, 2015.

A month later, Fraggle has started to eat on his own, and walk small distances without help, according to the ASPCA.

It's a miraculous recovery given that he was perilously close to death when he was found, according to ASPCA Anti-Cruelty Group Senior Director Howard Lawrence.

Fraggle will continue to recover at the ASPCA Hospital. A reward of $22,000 is being offered by both the ASPCA, and the NYPD for information leading an arrest/conviction in the case.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS
