East Hartford Animal Control is looking for the public's help to find whoever abandoned a dog found tied to a guardrail near Route 2 Monday morning.
The dog was found "dangerously close" to Route 2 on Jayce Street with no food and no water, according to animal control officers.
A good Samaritan gave him water and a blanket until animal control could arrive.
The dog was taken to a veterinarian after showing some concerning neurological signs. The vet believes the dog may have been suffering from marijuana toxicity, according to animal control officers.
