An American Bully dog that was found badly injured with two broken legs by Yolo County Animal Services in Clarksburg on Tuesday has been renamed Dwayne Johnson by his new carers.

Described by officials as tough, sweet and friendly, the dog was trying to walk on its front legs as both the dog's back legs were broken. It also had a large mass on the side of its face, according to the Yolo County Sheriff's Office.

Left for dead in Clarksburg California, where he was found dragging himself around because his back legs were so severely broken he couldn’t use them to upright himself... we’re not sure whether this guy received his injuries while being dumped from a car or someone kicked the shit out of him. 🤬Taken to UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine after we picked him up from Yolo County Animal Services Wednesday night. He was in a tremendous amount of pain and needed to be seen right then. He just could not wait any longer. UCD originally thought he had broken both of his back legs, a shattered pelvis and a broken jaw. X-rays revealed both his back legs were broken but his pelvis was not. A CT scan confirmed that his mandible was not fractured but it had a large hematoma. Thursday was a grueling day for him. It took most of the day to repair both of his fractured legs which included plating. He’s safe with us now but he is one of about 15 dogs that have been dumped in that area over the last few months. The last dog dumped there didn’t survive. How does this happen and who’s doing this horrible deed? 💔A HUGE thank you 💞 to our followers over on FB who provided the financial support we had to have in order to get this handsome devil the urgent help he so desperately needed.
