'Yesterday, a Good Samaritan spotted a trash bag off of Ralph McGill and Willoughby Way that seemed to be moving. When she untied the bag, she found a little dog covered in maggots and flies, severely matted and in horrible shape,' the LifeLine Animal Project posted on Facebook on Monday. 

Perci has been taken in by Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs in New York City.

'We reached out to our partners at Second Chance Rescue NYC Dogs for assistance. They didn't hesitate to help and agreed to take Perci in and cover his medical expenses,' the post added. 

Veterinarians said he lost his two front paws to strangulation necrosis
