Three-year-old Brooke was discovered near Newton Street and was immediately brought the Angell Animal Medical Center in Jamaica Plain.

She is currently being stabilized in the ICU. But staff say she is an extremely sweet and friendly golden retriever mix.

"It's always hard to see loving animals like Brooke suffer so much," Keiley added. "We want to know how it got to this point, and we need people's help to do that."
